Performing a Blood Test Using and Alternate Site

To bring fresh blood to the surface of the test site, rub the test site

vigorously for a few seconds until you feel it getting warm.

Lance the test site with the lancing device:

1. Hold the clear cap down against the top of your test site. Press the release

button. Do not lift up.

2. Continue to hold the lancing device and gradually increase pressure for

several seconds.

3. While holding the lancing device on your test site, look through the clear

cap; until a drop of blood appears approximate

4. Lift the lancing device straight up; be careful not to smear the blood on your

testing site.

5. Place the edge of the blood glucose test strip to the drop of blood.

6. The blood will automatically draw into the channel of the blood glucose test

strip.

You may get an inaccurate result if the blood sample

is not completely filled in a single action.

REMEMBER

1. Consult with your healthcare professional before using alternate site testing.

2. Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause

soreness and calluses.

3. 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.

4. Do not share reusable lancing device with anyone including other family members.

CAUTION

Do not test on your Alternative Site Test when

1. You think you blood glucose is rapidly falling. For example within two hours of exercise, rapid-action

insulin injection, or an insulin pump bolus.

2. Testing with a fingertip sample may identify hypoglycemia or an insulin reaction sooner than testing

with a forearm or palm sample.
