Sites Other Than Your Fingertip
•
Please refer to the "About AST" section. Please consult your health
professional before obtaining blood from sites other than
your fingertip.
Warning:
-
The system requires a very small blood drop to perform a test.
You can obtain it from a fingertip. Choose a different spot each
time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause
soreness and calluses.
-
Before you decide to do palm testing, please consult your
health professional.
Step 5
– Gently Massage the Area
Do not smear the blood sample. To obtain best
accurate results, the first drop of blood should
be discarded with a clean tissue paper or cot-
ton. Use the second drop of blood for testing.
The required blood sample is 0.6 microliter in
•
volume (
actual size).
Step 6
– Remove the Lancet
Take the lancet out carefully. Place the
protective cap back on the lancet exposed tip.
Always use caution when removing the lancet.
Discard the lancet according to
your local regulation.
Warning:
The first drop of blood usually
contains tissue fluid and serum, which
may affect the test result. It should be
discarded.
