Fingertip testing
Press the lancing device’s tip rmly
against the lower side of your ngertip.
Press the release button to prick your
nger, then a click indicates that the
puncture is complete.
Blood from sites other than the
ngertip
Replace the lancing device cap with
the clear cap for AST. Pull the cock-
ing control back until it clicks. When
lancing the forearm, upper arm, hand,
thigh, or calf, avoid lancing the areas
with obvious veins because of exces-
sive bleeding.
Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punc-
tures at the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
Please consult your health care professional before you begin
AST.
It is recommended that you discard the rst drop of blood as it
might contain tissue uid, which may affect the test result.
