  • Page 16 Choosing the right sampling site at the right time The OneTouch ® UltraMini ™ Meter allows you to sample blood from your fingertip, forearm or palm. Forearm and palm sampling is also referred to as “alternate site testing” (AST). At times, results obtained at the forearm or palm may be different from a fingertip measurement.
  • Page 17 æ CAUTION: Do not test on your forearm or palm when: • You think your blood glucose is rapidly falling, such as within two hours of exercise or a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus. Testing with a fingertip sample may identify hypoglycemia or an insulin reaction sooner than testing with a forearm or palm sample.
  • Page 18 Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses. If bruising occurs at an alternate site or you have difficulty getting a sample, consider sampling from a fingertip instead. You may want to review the choice of sites with your healthcare professional.
  • Page 19 Step 2 Insert a sterile lancet into the OneTouch ® Lancing Device Insert the lancet into the holder and push in firmly.

  • Page 21 Step 7 Get a round drop of blood Gently squeeze and/or massage your fingertip until a round drop of blood of at least one microliter ( actual size) forms on your fingertip. If the blood smears or runs, do not use that sample. Wipe the area and gently squeeze another drop of blood or puncture a new site.
  • Page 22 Forearm sampling Choose a fleshy area of the forearm away from bone, visible veins and hair. Sometimes there is less blood flow to the forearm than to the fingertips. To help you get a large enough drop of blood, you may gently massage or apply warmth to the site to increase blood flow.
  • Page 23 The OneTouch ® ™ Clear Cap Blue cap is used for forearm and palm for fingertip sampling only. Replace the blue sampling cap with the OneTouch ® ™ only Clear Cap. Step 1 Remove the blue cap by snapping it off Step 2 Insert a sterile lancet into the OneTouch ®...
  • Page 24 Step 3 Install the OneTouch ® ™ Clear Cap on the OneTouch ® Lancing Device by snapping it on Step 4 Adjust the depth setting You may have to adjust the OneTouch ® Lancing Device to a deeper setting to get a large enough drop of blood from your forearm or palm.
  • Page 25 Step 6 Puncture your forearm or palm Firmly press and hold the lancing device against your forearm or palm for a few seconds. Wait until the skin surface under the OneTouch ® ™ Clear Cap changes color (as blood collects beneath the skin).
  • Page 26 NOTE: • You may need to wait a little longer to get a large enough drop of blood from the forearm or palm. Do not squeeze the site excessively. • If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact with hair or with a line in your palm, do not use that sample.
