Alternate Site Test; Lancing And Sampling From An Alternate Site Area - Infopia Finetest Lite Instructions For Use Manual

Alternative Site Test
Upper Arm
Dorsal Hand
Finetest™ Lite blood glucose monitoring system gives you the ability to test your glucose
from various areas of your body.
The figure shown above displays the areas where you can test using your Finetest™ Lite
meter.You may test your blood sugar from your forearm, upper arm, palm (ventral palm
or dorsal hand), or fingertips.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that alternative site testing be used when sugars are stable: before
meals and before bedtime. However, when sugars are changing, blood from the fingertip
may show these changes sooner than blood from other body areas.
LIMITATION
1. Alternative site testing results should never be used to calibrate continuous glucose
monitoring systems.
2. Alternative sampling results should never be used in insulin dosing calculations.
Lancing and sampling from an alternative site area
Sampling from your upper arm, forearm, ventral palm, or dorsal hand allows you to use your
fingertips less often.
You may find that obtaining a blood sample from an alternative site is less painful than using
a fingertip.
