Getting a blood sample
Step 5
Cock the OneTouch
®
Lancing Device
Slide the cocking control back until it clicks. If it does not click, it
may have been cocked when you inserted the lancet.
Step 6
Puncture your finger
Hold the OneTouch
®
Lancing Device firmly against the side of
your finger. Press the release button. Remove the OneTouch
®
Lancing Device from your finger.
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 at
least one microlitre ( actual size).
