NOTE
• Testing with blood from alternate sites requires the AST cap. This is explained later in the chapter.
• The best depth setting is the lowest number that lets you get enough blood for a test. Try dierent
settings to find the one that is right for you.
• ALWAYS use a new, sterile lancet each time you test. Never reuse a lancet that has already been used.
• NEVER share your lancing device with anyone.
The black cap is for fingertip testing only.
The AST cap is for testing other approved sites on the body, not the fingertip.*
A new drum is dark gray with a white end.
A used drum has a visible red stripe on the white end. You cannot insert a used drum into the
lancing device.
