About Alternate Site Testing

of blood from these “alternate site” may be less painful than a
fingertip sample. Following figure shows the areas where you
can test with the 2in1. SMART. Avoid moles, veins, bones and
tendons. Consult to your healthcare professional before using
alternate site testing.
