Performing A Blood Glucose Test - GlucoRx HCT Connect Owner's Manual

"Alternative Site Testing" (AST) on how to select the
appropriate sites.
● Clean the puncture site using soap and warm water and let it
air dry.
● Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before
penetration.
● Use a clear AST cap while setting up the lancing device for
ketone testing on your palms.
Fingertip testing
Press the lancing device's tip firmly against the lower side of
your fingertip. Press the release button to prick your finger, then
a click indicates that the puncture is complete.
Blood from your palm
Replace the lancing device cap with the clear cap for AST.
Pull the cocking control back until it clicks.
NOTE:
● Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures
at the same spot may cause skin soreness and calluses.
● Please consult your healthcare professional before you begin
AST.
● It is recommended that you discard the first drop of blood as it
may contain tissue fluid which may affect your test result.
