Alternative Site Testing
The forearm and palm areas have less nerve endings than the fingertip. Because
of this, you may find that obtaining blood from these sites is less painful than from
the fingertip. The procedure for forearm and palm sampling is different. You need
the lancing device with clear cap to draw blood from these sites. The clear cap is
not adjustable for puncture depth. And our starter kit is not included the lancing
device, and please contact Customer Support at 800-951-8430 for information
about purchasing the lancing device. Please contact your health care professional
if you need help.
Blood samples for glucose testing may be taken from sites other than your
fingertips. Alternative site testing using blood from the forearm or palm may give
glucose results that significantly differ from fingertip blood. Differences occur when
blood glucose levels are changing rapidly, such as after a meal, after insulin, and
during or after exercise.
The lancing device with clear cap is not included in the kit. Please purchase it
separately if you need. Please refer to the lancing device insert which you
purchase for AST testing.
5. Unscrew the lancing device cover from the body of the lancing device. Insert a
sterile lancet into the lancing device and push it until the lancet is fully inserted.
