► Fingertip Testing
Press the lancing device tip fi rmly
against the side of your fi ngertip.
Press the release button to prick your
fi nger, 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 Alternative Site
Testing (AST). Pull the cocking con-
trol back until it clicks. When lanc-
ing the forearm, upper arm, hand,
thigh, or calf, avoid lancing the
areas with obvious veins because of
excessive bleeding.
• 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 fi rst drop of blood as it might contain
tissue fl uid, which may affect the test result.
