The OneTouch® Lancing Device has nine puncture depth settings, numbered 1 through 9. 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. Twist the blue cap until the correct setting appears. nOTE: A shallower fingertip 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 (see your meter's owner's booklet). Puncture your forearm or palm Firmly press and hold the lancing device against your forearm or palm for a few seconds. Wait until the skin surface under the OneTouch® AST TM Clear Cap changes color (as blood collects beneath the skin). This tells you there is enough blood flow for a good sample. Then press the release button while continuing to apply pressure. Keep holding the lancing device against your skin until a round drop of blood forms under the cap. When sampling blood from your forearm or palm, make sure the drop of blood is of at least one microlitre ( actual size) before you release pressure and remove the lancing device. Remove the OneTouch® Lancing Device Carefully lift the lancing device away from your skin. If bruising occurs or you have difficulty getting a sample, consider sampling a fingertip instead.
