Alternative Site Testing (AST)
PRECAUTION
- Consult your healthcare professional before sampling from your palm or forearm.
- Test results using samples from the palm or forearm may vary at times when glucose is
changing rapidly (e.g. drinking, eating, using medication, exercise). In such circumstances,
only fingertip blood samples should be used.
- Fingertip samples may show rapid changes in glucose faster than palm or forearm samples.
- Since blood flow from the palm or forearm may be slower than from the fingertip, use the
clear cap on the lancing device to observe the size of the acquired blood droplet.
- DO NOT test from the palm or forearm if testing for insulin dosage calculation or
hypoglycemia (low blood glucose).
- Palm or forearm results should not be used to calibrate continuous glucose monitors
(CGMs).
Viewing Window Appearance
Make sure your blood sample covers the whole
area of the Viewing Window. An insufficient
blood sample will result in an error message
(Er4). If this occurs, repeat the test with a new
test strip.
Insufficient blood sample
Appropriate blood sample
PRECAUTION
- Check the expiration date printed on the strip vial every time you use a test strip. Do not
use expired test strips.
- Use each test strip immediately after taking out from the vial.
- Do not reuse test strips.
- If RIGHTEST Meter or Test Strips is exposed to temperature environments out of range for
the meter – below 10°C (50°F) or above 40°C (104°F) – please wait at least 30 minutes
before testing again.
- Apply the blood drop only on the sample entry of the test strip.
- Please don't drip or inject the blood sample directly by syringe to the sample
entry of test strip. Doing this might contaminate the meter or cause damages
and is not recommended.
