Adjust the depth setting
The OneTouch ® 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 calloused
skin. Twist the blue (or black) 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 one deep enough to get a sufficient
drop of blood for testing (
