2. Using the One Touch Ultra lancer, extract blood from your finger. Unlike other home blood testing systems in the market, One Touch Ultra can also test blood from other sites. Alternately, you can draw blood from palm or forearm using the One Touch lancer cap.

3. Touch the blood sample to the end of the One Touch Ultra Soft FastDraw Test Strip. The test strip features capillary action and will automatically slurp blood sample. The test strip requires only a microliter of blood. An indicator window easily lets you know if there’s enough sample on the strip already.
