Operation Manual

Alternate Site Testing (AST) with the transparent cap

You can also gain the blood

sample from other parts of the

body than the nger tip. If

you want to use Alternate Site

Testing, please use the trans-

parent cap for your lancing

device. Carry out the following

steps:

• Gently massage the desired

punctuation site on your arm

or hand for a few seconds. This

will improve the blood circula-

tion.

• Push the lancing device with the transparent cap against the

desired blood collection site and push the trigger button to gain

a sample.

• Exercise a constant pressure until you see through the trans-

parent cap, that enough blood is gained. After that you can carry

out the blood glucose test, as usual.
