Alternate Site Testing (AST)
When you want to obtain blood from sites other than the fingertip,
use the clear cap. Screw the clear cap onto the Lancing Device
until it is snug but not too tight, and then go to Step 6.
STEP 6: Cock the Lancing Device.
Slide the ejection/cocking control back
until it clicks. If it does not click, the
Lancing Device may have been cocked
when the lancet was inserted.
See Figure 23.
*The Lancing Device is
prepared and ready to lance
your finger for a blood sample.
Getting a Blood Sample
STEP 1: Wash Your Hands and the Puncture Site
Use warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry your hands
thoroughly.
STEP 2: Select and Lance a Puncture Site
• Fingertip
Hold the Lancing Device firmly against the
side of your finger. Press the release
button. You will hear a click, indicating
that the puncture is complete.
