Alternate Site Testing
Sampling Blood from Alternate Sites
Unlike with fingertips,
the method for sampling
blood from alternate sites
is different.
After inserting a new ster-
ile lancet firmly into the
lancet carrier, place the
clear AST cap on top.
Hold the lancing device
against the site you have
chosen to lance. Avoid
moles, veins, bones, and
tendons. Press and hold
the lancing device on the
spot for a few seconds.
Then press the release
button to collect a blood sample. Observe through
the clear cap to see if sufficient amount of blood
sample is taken. If there is not enough blood,
massage the area gently.
