3. Hold the lancing device against the
lancing spot for a few seconds and
then press the trigger button.
4. Wait until a blood drop forms
under the AST cap with a diameter
of approx. 1.4 mm.
5. Remove the lancing device from
the skin carefully and proceed in
the same way as for the normal
protective cap (see 5.3.1 Performing
a blood glucose test, p. 24
onwards).
