Volume (uL) of blood in the capillary tube
Examination of the volume of blood obtained after puncturing a fingertip with the use of different lancing devices set to maximum puncture depth, with the use of various-sized personal lancets (28G and 33G).
Time frame: The blood from the puncture site was collected to the capillaries for 30 seconds, and afterwards amount of the blood was measured using a calibrated ruler
The intensity of pain perceived by the patient assessed with the use of the VAS (Visual Analog Scale).
Examination of the intensity of pain perceived when puncturing a fingertip with the use of different lancing devices set to maximum puncture depth, with the use of various-sized personal lancets (28G and 33G).
Time frame: 3 minutes (+/- 1 minute) after lancing
