Warnings and Precautions
• Alternative site and fingertip results may differ significantly due to rapid changes in the
glucose level after meals or exercise, hypoglycemic symptoms, or effects of drugs such as
insulin. AST testing should only be conducted under steady-state blood glucose conditions.
Use a fingertip sample if you suffer from hypoglycemia or have experienced hypoglycemic
shock or symptoms.
• Test strips are for single use only. Do not reuse.
• If the test strip does not absorb the blood sample properly, please contact Technical
Customer Service at 800.818.8877, option 5, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• For instructions on how to obtain samples from alternative sites, please refer to the AST
section of the User Manual for your meter.
Alternative Site Blood Sampling (forearm, palm, thigh, calf)
Select a clean, soft and fleshy sample site free of visible veins and hair and away from bones.
Gently massage the sample site to increase blood circulation to minimize differences between
fingertip and alternative site test results. Place auto-disabling, single-use lancing device against
the sample site. Press the release button. Massage the site to obtain a round drop (at least 0.5
μL) of blood. Apply test strip tip to blood sample.
Limitations
• An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (hematocrit level over 60% or below 20%) may
produce inaccurate results.
• Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive (having low blood pressure) individuals
or patients in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a
hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be
tested with the Assure® Prism multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
• Severe dehydration (excessive water loss) may cause falsely low results. If you believe your
resident is suffering from severe dehydration, consult their physician immediately.
• There is no effect from altitudes of up to 10,000 ft (3,000 m) above sea level.
• Interferences: Acetaminophen, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), uric acid and other reducing
substances (when occurring in normal blood or normal therapeutic concentrations) do not
significantly affect results. However, abnormally high concentrations in blood may cause
inaccurate high results.
• Blood samples that contain a high concentration of dissolved oxygen may lower the test result.
• Dispose used test strips in a proper waste container, according to your local waste authority.
• Not for neonatal use and not for screening or diagnosis of diabetes.
