- Risk of injury. If the penetration depth is too deep, the puncture can injure children. Before using the lancing device for the first time on children, ask your healthcare professional. Start with the lowest penetration depth.
WARNING
- For use only on a single person. Disinfect reusable components according to manufacturer’s instructions between each use.
- Used lancet blades must be safely discarded after a single use.

Improper use of blood lancets can increase the risk of inadvertent transmission of bloodborne pathogens, particularly in settings where multiple people are tested. The cleaning and disinfection instructions for this device are intended only to reduce the risk of local use site infection; they cannot render this device safe for use for more than one person.
- Do not draw more blood than necessary for testing.

Adjusting Lancing Depth
The Multi-Lancet™ Device 2 can adjust the lance depth to 7 levels, as needed. When using the Multi-Lancet™ Device 2 for the first time, select level 3 for finger samples and level 7 for palm and forearm samples. If you have soft finger skin, start with level 2 and adjust depth as needed.
- If blood sample is excessive, turn the dial to a lower setting.
