WHEN TO OBTAINING BLOOD FROM SITES OTHER THAN THE
FINGERTIP
A clear cap, together with the kit, makes it easier to get a drop of blood from AST. When you want to
obtain blood from sites except the finger, replace the clear cap instead of the lancing device cap.
Screw the clear cap onto the lancing device until it is snug, but not too tight, and then continue to
step 2.
Step2.CocktheLancingDevice
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.
Step 3. Wash your hands and t he Puncture Site
Select the puncture site either in finger or in other parts (AST). Clean the puncture site with 70%
using cotton moistened with 70% alcohol and let it air-dry.
Step 4. 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 completed.
• Sites other than a fingertip
Please refer to the section of “About Alternative Site Testing” above. Please consult your health
professional before obtaining blood from sites other than a 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 first.
