Press the lancing device
’
s tip firmly

When lancing the forearm, upper
arm, hand, thigh, or calf, avoid

• Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures at the
same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
• Please consult your health care professional before you begin AST.
• It is recommended to discard the first drop of blood as it might contain
tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
