OneTouch® UltraSoft® 2 lancing device

Yes, you can use either a OneTouch UltraSoft^® 2 lancets or other universal lancets.

To help reduce the chance of infection, use a new sterile lancet every time you test.
Lancet reuse can dull or bend the tip of the lancet, causing damage to your skin, scarring and greater pain. Never use a lancet or lancing device that has been used by someone else. Always dispose of the used lancet in a container for sharp/biohazard objects.

The device has 9 puncture depth settings. Each dot shown between numbers 1 to 9 on the Endcap dial indicates an additional available depth setting. Adjust the depth by turning the endcap dial. Smaller numbers are for a shallower puncture and larger numbers for a deeper puncture.
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).
The setting you choose must be deep enough to get a round drop of blood large enough to get an accurate result with your meter (see your User Guide that came with your system for information on the proper blood sample size).
