Testing blood glucose 3
3.1 Preparing the lancing device
AST cap
You can use the lancing device to obtain blood from a
ngertip or from alternate sites. You can choose one of
11 different penetration depth settings to suit your own
skin type.
You can use the lancing device either docked on to the
meter or separately from the meter.
If you wish to obtain blood from alternate sites (such as
the eshy areas under the thumb and under the little
nger, forearm, upper arm, calf or thigh), you must
replace the black cap on the lancing device with a
special AST cap (AST stands for alternate site testing).
If there is no AST cap in the pack, you can order one
from Accu-Chek Customer Care.
Make sure you also read the instructions for use that
come with the AST cap before using blood from alter-
nate sites for a blood glucose test.
