Step 3- Testing on Palm and Forearm:
Hold the lancing device (use the clear cap) against the test site
(base of palm or forearm). Avoid a test site that has veins,
moles, excessive hair, or bone. Press the lancing device firmly
against the test site and press the release button, do not left up.
For forearm test sites, apply and release pressure ("Pumping”)
for a few seconds while keeping the lancing device in constant
contact with the skin. Palm testing (at the base of the thumb)
does not require pumping.
When the blood is about the size of a pen tip (approximatel: )
left the lancing device straight up without smearing the blood.
IMPORTANT:
• If results from alternate site testing do not agree with how you feel, use
fingertip testing instead.
