Study Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study examines the success rate of various OneTouch Delica lancet sizes across depth settings of the OneTouch Delica lancing device. The sample size is based on 30 subjects per lancet size for a given depth setting. Each subject is lanced 4 times with two lancet sizes at a single depth setting. There will be 120 paired lancing events for each lancet size within the group.
Null hypothesis (H0): there is a 90% success rate of attaining a minimum blood volume of 1.0μL for the 28g lancet across all depth settings.
Alternate hypothesis (H1): the success rate of attaining a minimum blood volume of 1.0μL for the 28g lancet across all depth settings is less than 90%.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Blood Volume Measurements
Time Frame: 24 hours
Lancing events were performed on subjects fingers. After each lancing event blood volume was measure with a scale.
Secondary Outcomes
