You need the meter, a test strip, a lancing device designed for AST, and a lancet.
1. Prepare the lancing device.
2. Check the use by date on the
test strip container. Do not
use test strips past the use
by date.
3. Insert the test strip into the
meter in the direction of the
arrows.
The meter turns on. A test
strip symbol and a flashing
blood drop symbol appear on
the display.
4. Press the lancing device firmly
against a fleshy area on the
alternative site. Press the
lancing device up and down
in a slow pumping motion to
assist the flow of blood.
