Fingertip testing
Press the lancing deviceʼs tip firmly
against the lower side of your fingertip.
Press the release button to prick your
finger, then a click indicates that the
puncture is complete.
●
Blood from sites other than the
fingertip
Replace the lancing device cap with the
clear cap for AST. Pull the cocking control
back until it clicks. When lancing the
forearm, upper arm, hand, thigh, or calf,
avoid lancing the areas with obvious veins
becau
se of excessive bleeding.
NOTE:
• 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 that you discard the first drop of blood as it might contain
tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
