How do I use the DigiVibe Painless Lancing and Injections Kit?

It’s simple, with very few steps. For full device information, reference the user manual.

1. Before using your device for the first time, please remove the battery tab protector, place the tip onto the device, and then place the device onto the stand.
2. Place the stand on a smooth surface and press the suction activation button on the stand’s side. Be sure to have your glucose monitor, test strips, and lancing device set up and ready to take your sample, as usual.
3. Ensure the device vibrates for up to 20 seconds before the lancet or injection, and let the device continue to vibrate until after the lancet or injection.

How long do I need to apply the vibration before it blocks the pain?

You can wait longer, but most users find up to 20 seconds of vibrations block any pain impulses from getting through

Will my monitor fit inside the DigiVibe travel case?

Yes, the DigiVibe travel case will accommodate almost every glucose monitor up to 5/8″ thickness.

Will my DigiVibe and lancing device fit inside my current travel case?

Yes, if your travel case is 6 1/4″ in length.

Will the DigiVibe Painless Lancing and Injections Kit fit into my Insulin kit?

In most cases, yes.

Can I use my current lancing device with the DigiVibe?

Yes, if it has a 3/8″ diameter.

Can I use my lancets with the DigiVibe lancing device?

Yes, standard-size lancets sold at all pharmacies will work in the DigiVibe lancing device.

Can I clean the DigiVibe tip without removing it from the device?

Yes, but you must not get water in the battery compartment.

How often will the DigiVibe tip need to be replaced?

The tip will last approximately one year with proper care, but we recommend replacing it every two to three months to keep it performing its best.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, the DigiVibe Painless Lancing and Injections Kit has a one-year limited warranty, including parts, labor, and free shipping in the USA. See warranty for details.

What is the estimated battery life for the DigiVibe device?

The DigiVibe device is designed to run on one AA lithium battery, which should last for 400 finger pricks. An alkaline battery can be used, but it will only power approximately 80 finger pricks and last for around 30 days.

The DigiVibe's vibration speed seems too low to block needle stick pain.

Replace your battery with a new AA lithium battery.

Safety Information

• Lancets are for single use only. Do not share your DigiVibe unit with anyone else, including family members! Do not use on multiple patients!
• After use and exposure to blood, all parts of this kit are considered bio-hazardous. A used kit may potentially transmit infectious diseases even after you have performed cleaning and disinfection. Clean and disinfect your DigiVibe before initial use and once a week with cleaning and disinfecting.
• Keep away from young children. Small parts may present a choking hazard. Do not use in an oxygen-rich or explosive environment. Do not expose the unit to high temperatures for an extended period of time (Example: Leaving it in a vehicle trunk on a hot day or in a sun-baked space). This may reduce the performance and/or cause a failure of the disposable tip.For best performance and greatest comfort, if the device is stored at extreme temperatures such as -25°C or 70°C, allow the device to come to room temperature or at least into the normal operational range of 5°C to 35°C before use. This should take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours when exposed to room temperature.
• WARNING: Battery can explode or leak and cause burns if installed backward, dissembled, charged, or exposed to water, fire, or high temperature. No user- serviceable parts inside. Modification or disassembly not allowed.

1. Remove the lancing device cap by turning it counterclockwise and then pulling it straight up from the device.
2. Insert a sterile lancet into the grooves of the lancet holder. Push the lancet into the device until it is fully seated in the holder. Twist the protective cover until it separates and save it for removal and disposal later.
3. Place the lancing device cap back onto the device; gently turn clockwise to secure the cap. Do not over tighten.
4. Adjust the depth setting of the lancing device by turning the wheel to the desired depth. Minimum starting from 1 and maximum ending at 5. A shallower puncture works for children and most adults.
5. Cock the lancing device trigger by sliding the device back until it clicks. If it does not click, it might have already been cocked. The device is now ready to use.

Remove the Used Lancet

1. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise and then pulling it straight up from the device.
