ABSTRACT:
The invention of the present disposable adjustable lancet involves an assembly which has a body and a cap. A lancet holder fits in the body and has a base portion having a pair of upstanding retainer-disabling tines, one of the tines is longer than the other to block the reinsertion of the lancet. A selector tip assists in engaging a clicker position in the selector tip. The method involves selecting positions by means of a female and a male position clicker which provide an audible signal. The position of the lancet can be determined in three manners: visually observing the degree of rotation, audibly denoting the click, and physically rotating the member which, in turn, results in a reaction on the finger while the adjustment is being made.
