Step 3: Wash Your Hands.

Use warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry hands thoroughly. To increase blood flow to your fingertips, massage the hand from the wrist to the fingertip two or three times without touching the puncture site.

Step 4: Lance Your Finger.

Choose a spot on the side of a different finger each time you test.

Repeated punctures in the same

spot may cause soreness and calluses. Hold the OneTouch® Penlet® Plus Sampler firmly against the side of your finger. Press the release button. (Greater pressure of the device against the finger will also cause a deeper puncture.)
