► Fingertip Testing
Press the lancing device
’
s tip firmly
against the 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
because 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 to discard the first drop of blood as it might contain
tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
