Information for Healthcare Professionals

w

 WARNING

Healthcare Professionals: Follow the infection control procedures appropriate for your facility. Refer 

to the test strip package insert for additional healthcare professional information.

Sample Handling

Always wear gloves when handling blood-contaminated items. Always adhere to the recognised 

procedures for handling objects that are potentially contaminated with human material. Follow the 

hygiene and safety policy of your laboratory or institution. Prepare the selected blood collection site per 

facility policy.
Refer to the test strip package insert for additional information regarding acceptable sample types, 

anticoagulants, and handling instructions.

Recommending Alternative Site Testing to Patients

Decisions about whether to recommend Alternative Site Testing (AST) should take into account the 

motivation and knowledge level of the patient and his or her ability to understand the considerations 

relative to diabetes and AST. If you are considering recommending AST for your patients, you need to 

understand that there is a potential for a significant difference between fingertip or palm test results and 

test results obtained from the forearm or upper arm. The difference in capillary bed concentration and 

blood perfusion throughout the body can lead to sample site-to-site differences in blood glucose results. 

These physiological effects vary between individuals and can vary within a single individual based upon 

his or her behaviour and relative physical condition.
Our studies involving alternative site testing of adults with diabetes show that most persons will find their 

glucose level changes more quickly in blood from the fingertip or palm than in blood from the forearm or 

upper arm. This is especially important when blood glucose levels are falling or rising rapidly. If your 

patient is used to making therapy decisions based upon fingertip or palm test results, he or she should 

consider the delay, or lag time, affecting the test results obtained with blood from the forearm or upper 

arm.
