OneTouch Delica Plus - Lancing Device Manual

The OneTouch^® Delica^® Plus Lancing Device provides a safe, easy way to obtain a drop of capillary blood from the fingertip.

Before using this device, please read these Instructions for Use.

Your OneTouch^® Delica^® Plus Lancing System does not include the materials needed to perform Alternate Site Testing (AST) and should not be used to test on the forearm or palm.

The device has 13 depth settings. The setting you choose must be deep enough to get a round drop of blood large enough for the meter to provide a blood glucose result. (See your User Guide that came with your system for information on the proper blood sample size.)

NOTE:
The OneTouch^® Delica^® Plus Lancing Device uses

OneTouch^® Delica^® or OneTouch^® Delica^® Plus Lancets. Use a new, sterile lancet each time you test. Lancet reuse can dull or bend the tip of the lancet, causing damage to your skin, scarring and greater pain.

Keep the lancing device away from young children. The lancing device, cap, lancets and lancet protective covers are choking hazards.

Preparing your lancing device

1. Remove the lancing device cap
   Remove the cap by rotating it and then pulling it straight off the device.
   
   
2. 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 disk one full turn until it separates from the lancet. Save the protective disk for lancet removal and disposal. See Removing the used lancet.
   
   
   
3. Replace the lancing device cap
   Place the cap back onto the device; turn the cap or push the cap straight on to secure it. Ensure the cap is aligned as shown in the image.
   
4. Adjust the depth setting
   The device has 13 puncture depth settings (each dot shown between numbers 1 to 7 on the Depth Wheel indicates an additional available depth setting). Adjust the depth by turning the depth wheel. Smaller numbers are for a shallower puncture and larger numbers for a deeper puncture.
   

NOTE:
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 instructions).

4. Cock the lancing device
   Pull the slider back until it clicks. If it does not click, it may already have been cocked when you inserted the lancet.

Sampling blood from the fingertip

Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.

Before testing, wash your hands and the sample site with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. Contaminants on the skin may affect results.

1. 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.
   
   
2. Get a round drop of blood
   Gently squeeze and/or massage your fingertip until a round drop of blood forms.
   

NOTE:
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.

Apply the sample

Apply the blood sample following the instructions in your Meter or System Guide for proper sample application.

Removing the used lancet

NOTE:
This lancing device has an ejection feature, so you do not have to pull out the used lancet.

1. Remove the lancing device cap
   Remove the cap by rotating it and then pulling it straight off the device.
   
2. Cover the exposed lancet tip
   Before removing the lancet, place the lancet protective cover on a hard surface then push the lancet tip into the flat side of the disk.
   
3. Eject the lancet
   Holding the lancing device directed downwards, push the slider forward until the lancet comes out of the lancing device. If the lancet fails to eject properly, cock the device then push the slider control forward until the lancet comes out.
   
4. Replace the lancing device cap
   Place the cap back onto the device; turn the cap or push the cap straight in to secure it.
   Ensure the cap is aligned as shown in the image.
   

Discard the used lancet carefully after each use to avoid unintended lancet stick injuries. Used lancets may be considered biohazardous waste in your area. Be sure to follow your healthcare professional's recommendations or local regulations for proper disposal.
