Obtaining the Blood Sample
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of blood:
• Wash and dry your hands before starting.
• Select the puncture site either at fingertips or another body parts.
• Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
• Use a clear cap (included in the kit) while setting up the lancing device.
Wait for the device to display the test strip and blood drop symbol.
Blood from the fingertip
™
1. Press the lancing device's tip firmly against the lower
side of your fingertip.
2. Press the release button to prick your finger, then a click
indicates that the puncture is complete.
Blood from sites other than the fingertip
™
Important!
• Avoid lancing areas with obvious veins to avoid excess bleeding.
Alternative site testing (AST) is when individuals check their
blood glucose levels using other areas of the body other than
the fingertips. The FORA test strips allow AST to be performed
on sites other than the fingertips. Please consult your health
care professional before you begin AST.
Alternative site sample results may be different from fingertip
sample results when glucose levels are changing rapidly (e.g.,
after a meal, after taking insulin, or during or after exercise).
We strongly recommend that you perform AST ONLY at the
following times:
• During a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).
• Two hours or more after taking insulin.
• Two hours or more after exercise.
