Fingertip testing
Hold the lancing device rmly against the side
of your nger. Press the release button. You
will hear a click, indicating that the puncture is
complete.
Blood from sites other than the ngertip
A clear cap, makes it easier to get a drop of
blood for AST. When you want to obtain blood
from sites other than the nger, replace the
lancing device cap with the clear cap. Turn the
clear cap until it is snug but not too tight, and
then slide the cocking control back until it clicks.

Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punc-
tures 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 rst drop of blood as it might
contain tissue uid, which may affect the test result.
