Alternate Site Testing (AST) with the transparent cap
You can also gain the blood
sample from other parts of the
body than the finger tip. If you
want to use Alternate Site Test-
ing, please use the transparent
cap for your lancing device. Car-
ry out the following steps:
• Gently massage the desired
punctuation site on your arm
or hand for a few seconds.
This will improve the blood
circulation.
• Push the lancing device with the transparent cap against the de-
sired blood collection site and push the trigger button to gain a
sample.
• Exercise a constant pressure until you see through the transpar-
ent cap, that enough blood is gained. After that you can carry
out the blood glucose test, as usual.
