9. Press the opening of the AST cap firmly against a
fleshy area on the alternate site. Press the
lancing device up and down in a slow pumping
motion to assist the flow of blood. Remember
that the opening where the lancet comes out is
not in the center of the cap.
10. Keep steady pressure on the area and press the
plunger on the end of the device all the way
down to prime the lancet and prick the site.
Don’t be afraid to apply pressure to the area
with the lancing device to assist the flow of
blood. Continue to press the cap against the
area for a few seconds to allow blood to come
to the surface.
NOTE
If the blood drop is too small, reapply pressure to get a sucient blood drop.
