Obtaining the Blood Sample
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of blood:
• Wash and dry your hands before starting.
• Select the puncture site either at fingertips or another body parts.
• Clean the puncture site using cotton moistened with 70% alcohol and let it air dry.
• Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
• Use a clear cap (included in the kit) while setting up the lancing device.
Wait for the device to display the test strip and blood drop symbol.
Blood from the fingertip
1. Press the lancing device's tip firmly against the lower
side of your fingertip.
2. Press the release button to prick your finger, then a click
indicates that the puncture is complete.
Blood from sites other than the fingertip
Important!
• Avoid lancing areas with obvious veins to avoid excess bleeding.
1. Replace the lancing device cap with the clear cap.
2. Pull the cocking control out until the orange bar appears
on the release button window.
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(Alternative Site Testing).
• It is recommended to discard the first drop of blood as it might contain tissue fluid, which
may affect the test result.
