Lancing Device

Got this pen for my mom who was newly diabetic and her current pen was hurting her everyday. Got this and she said she doesn’t even feel a thing.

Very good product & a very reasonable price.

The lancing device that came with my glucose meter (OneTouch Verio IQ) was painful to use, and would occasionally fail to create a finger prick that produced enough blood for the test strip to work correctly. So occasionally I had to finger prick myself two times. You also had to pull out the lancet from the device using your fingers (risking yet another prick). After many years of use, it eventually broke and so I had to purchase a new one. After much research I decided to go with the Auvon lancing device. I have my Auvon lancing device set to 3 (it has ten possible positions), and it is much less painful than the OneTouch lancing device. The manufacturer claims that the lancing device results in less pain because it jabs your finger straight with less sideways vibrations. I also think that the 30 gauge lancets are better than the ones that the OneTouch meter used. The lancets themselves are ejected by sliding a lever forward, and not by pulling it by hand. The Auvon lancing device is also much more reliable, and every finger prick produces enough blood for the test strip to work correctly. So double finger pricks are a thing of the past for me. The lancing device is armed by pulling the rear knob back, this works quite smoothly every time. The trigger button is brilliantly designed. It is a clear plastic button that is blank when the lancing device is not armed, and then turns red when the lancing device is armed and ready to go. In total, this device is much more nicer to use than the OneTouch lancing device. I believe that it's a worthy upgrade to the basic lancing device that comes with most glucose meters.

Overall quite good given the low cost. I use this to test my cat's blood sugar so wanted the clear tip to aim at the right spot on his ear, which *kindof* works, but the needle doesn't really poke in the center of the circular opening so there is some guesswork/variability (so far I haven't found a device without this problem). My other issue is that the trigger button is hyper-sensitive, so you have to be careful not to brush it before you're ready (I've gotten used to that now). I use Relion lancets in it (30g) and they fit just fine--I set the device at depth 2. I like that the clear part of the tip is removable for cleaning (BIG plus and a feature I haven't found on other lancing devices at this price point). The ejector feature is something I can't do without now that I'm used to it. I hope the device will hold up. I've been using it less than a month so far.

Junk! The lance won’t spring through the hole no matter what depth you have it set for. Poor design! My Reli On one never had that problem! Probably because this is cheap Chinese junk! UPDATE: te: I need to apologize to this seller. It turns out my problem was an ID10T error. 😂 Turns out it works perfectly. It’s just that the lance goes in and out so fast you don’t know it’s doing it unless you actually put it against your finger. I was just hitting the trigger to see it pop out. It happens so fast you don’t see it. Hope this seller will accept my apologies. Next time I’ll let my husband/hero look at something first to confirm I was making a mistake before I post a review.

Absolutely painless! There's still minor pinch in the lowest setting from my old device. However, I cannot feel anything even in the middle setting of this one. I triggered it many times to make sure it's working because I couldn't feel any pinch at all. I finally had to squeeze my finger to check if blood comes out. Totally surprised that it works without feeling anything! So happy that my old device needs replacement, otherwise, I wouldn't know there's painless device. Highly recommended! Bonus - it can use my Free Style Lite lancets.

For those who have to check blood sugar during the day, this device is easy to use. Seems accurate. Can use the generic lancets that I usually buy. Pleased with that. More levels to set to find what is comfortable for you. Happy I purchased this item.

According to description there are supposed to be 10 settings. There are only 5 and they still won't go deep enough for a good draw.
