Fingertip testing
Press the lancing device’s tip firmly against the
lower side of your fingertip. Press the release
button to prick your finger, 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 AST. Pull the cocking control back until
it clicks. When lancing the forearm, upper arm,
hand, thigh, or calf, avoid lancing the areas
with obvious veins because of the risk of
excessive bleeding.
NOTE:
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 that you discard the first drop of blood as it might
contain tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
