Blood from sites other than the
fingertip
Replace your lancing device cap with
the clear cap for alternative site
testing. Pull the cocking control back
until it clicks. When lancing the
forearm, upper arm or hand, avoid
lancing the areas with obvious veins
to avoid excess bleeding.
Press the lancing device’s tip firmly
against the side of your fingertip. Press
the release button to prick your finger.
A click indicates that the puncture is
complete.
■
Fingertip testing
Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated
punctures at the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
Please consult your healthcare professional before you begin
AST.
It is recommended that you discard the first drop of blood as it
may contain tissue fluid which may affect your test result.
NOTE
Performing a Blood Glucose Test
