fingertip
Replace the lancing device cap with
the clear cap for alternative site test-

upper arm and hand, avoid lancing the
areas with obvious veins for excess
bleeding.
Press the lancing device’s tip firmly
against the side of your fingertip.
Press the release button to prick your
finger, then a click indicates that the
puncture is complete.

Fingertip testing
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

It is recommended that you discard the first drop of blood as it
might contain tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
