What is lancing device?

Lancing device, also known as a blood-sampling device, is an instrument equipped with a lancet. It is most commonly used by diabetics for blood glucose monitoring. The depth of skin penetration can be adjusted for various skin thicknesses. Long lancing devices are used for fetal scalp blood testing to get a measure of the acid base status of the fetus.

Most people simply use the device that comes with their glucose meter. Lancing devices can be sold separately. It’s not unusual for people to spend hours researching insulin pumps and glucose meters in order to optimize diabetes management. But how many people give a second thought to their lancing device? Consumers should take a look at which devices may be a good fit for their life.

How to use the 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.

Step 1: Remove the cap by snapping it off

Step 2: Insert a sterile lancet into the Lancing Device (Insert the lancet into the holder and push in firmly. Twist the protective disk until it separates from the lancet and save the disk for later use. Do not twist the lancet)

Step 3: Replace the cap by snapping it back on

Step 4: Adjust the depth setting (The Lancing Device has nine puncture depth settings, numbered 1 through 9. The 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 cap until the correct setting appears)

NOTE: A shallower puncture may be less painful. Try a shallower setting first and increase the depth until you find the 1 deep enough to get a blood sample of at least 1 microliter.

Step 5: Prepare the Lancing Device (Slide the control button back until it clicks. If it does not click, the control button may have already been locked back and ready to spring for site puncture when you inserted the lancet)

Step 6: Puncture your finger (Hold the Lancing Device firmly against the side of your finger. Press the release button. Remove the Lancing Device from your finger)

Step 7: Get a drop of blood (Gently squeeze or massage your fingertip until a drop of blood of at least 1 microliter forms on your fingertip. If the blood smears or runs, do not use that sample. Dry the area and gently squeeze another drop of blood or puncture a new site)
