One Touch Delica Lancets (Lancets - non Rx)

Indications

One Touch Delica Lancets are used for blood glucose testing in individuals with diabetes. These lancets are designed to prick the skin and obtain a small blood sample for glucose monitoring. They are typically used in conjunction with a compatible lancing device, such as the OneTouch Delica Plus lancing device.

The lancets are inserted into the lancing device, and the device is used to puncture the skin, allowing for blood collection. The collected blood sample can then be applied to a test strip or other glucose monitoring device for analysis. One Touch Delica Lancets are designed to provide a comfortable and virtually pain-free testing experience, and they come in different needle gauges, such as Extra Fine (33G) and Fine (30G), with silicone-coating for smooth gliding into the skin.

The OneTouch Delica Plus lancing device offers multiple depth settings, usually 13 settings, which allow for better control and customization based on individual preferences and skin types. The user can adjust the depth setting based on their comfort level and the desired blood sample size.

Use and Dosage

To use OneTouch Delica Lancets, follow these general steps:

1. Wash your hands with soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly. Gather all the necessary supplies, including your OneTouch Delica lancing device, OneTouch Delica Lancets, and alcohol swabs if desired.
2. Remove the cap from the lancet device. Insert a new lancet firmly into the device until it clicks into place. Remove the protective cap from the lancet.
3. Some OneTouch Delica lancing devices have depth settings that allow you to adjust the penetration depth according to your skin's thickness. Check your specific lancing device for instructions on adjusting the depth setting, if applicable.
4. Choose a clean fingertip for testing. If desired, clean the fingertip with an alcohol swab and allow it to dry before proceeding.
5. Place the loaded lancet against the chosen fingertip and press the release button or trigger to activate the lancet. The device will quickly and automatically retract the lancet after use.
6. Gently squeeze the fingertip to form a small drop of blood. Touch the test strip or blood glucose meter to the blood droplet to collect the sample, following the instructions specific to your blood glucose monitoring system.

After use, carefully remove the lancet and dispose of it properly. Some lancing devices have a built-in lancet ejection system, while others require manual removal and disposal in a sharps container.
