How to use OneTouch Lancing Device?

Prepare your sample site:

• Before you test your blood sugar, wash your hands and forearm (if applicable) thoroughly with warm, soapy water
• Rinse and dry Completely

Preparing your lancing device:

• Remove the lancing device cap
  - Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise and then pulling it straight off of the device.
• Insert a sterile lancet into the lancing device
  - Align the lancet as shown here, so that the lancet fits into the lancet holder. Push the lancet into the device until it snaps into place and is fully seated in the holder.
• Twist the protective cover one full turn until it separates from the lancet. Save the protective cover for lancet removal and disposal
• Replace the lancing device cap
  - Place the cap back onto the device; turn clockwise to secure the cap
• Adjust the depth setting
  - The lancing device has seven puncture depth settings, numbered 1 through 7.
  - Smaller numbers are for a shallower puncture and the larger numbers are for a deeper puncture.
  - Shallower punctures work for children and most adults. Deeper punctures work well for people with thick or callused skin.
  - Turn the depth wheel to choose the setting. 
• Note: A shallower puncture may be less painful. Try a shallower setting first and increase the depth until you find the one deep enough to get a blood sample of the proper size
• Cock the lancing device 
  - Slide the cocking control back until it clicks.
  - If it does not click, it may already have been cocked when you inserted the lancet.
