When obtain blood from sites other than the
ngertip
A clear cap, together with the kit, makes you easier to get a
drop of blood for AST. When you want to obtain blood from
sites except the nger, replace the clear cap instead of the
lancing device cap. Screw the clear cap until it is snug but
not too tight, and then go to step 2.
STEP 3 Wash Your Hands and the Puncture Site
Use warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
STEP 4 Select and Lance a Puncture Site
Fingertip
Press the lancing device’s tip rmly
against the lower side of your ngertip.
Press the release button to prick your
nger, then a click indicates that the
puncture is complete.
Pull the cocking control back until it
clicks. You will see a color change
inside the release button when it is
ready.
Sites other than ngertip
Please refer to the section of “About Alternative Site Test-
ing (AST)” for possible punctured sites. Please consult
your health professional before obtaining blood from sites
other than ngertip.
STEP2 Cock the Lancing Device
Hold your ngers
on the body NOT
the cap.
