Testing with Blood from Alternative Sites

Chapter 1: Your New Meter

Chapter 3: Testing Your Blood Sugar

With the ACCU-CHEK Compact system, you have the option to use blood

from an alternative site (palm, forearm, upper arm, thigh, or calf) in addition

to blood taken from your fingertip. Although blood from your fingertip may

be tested at any time, there are times when testing from alternative sites is

not ideal. Before you begin testing areas other than your fingertip, please

read this section to understand which option is right for you.

▲

Before you begin testing using alternative sites, please:

• Talk with your doctor

• Read the Notes section below

Notes:

• Because your fingertip has more blood vessels, your fingertip and

alternative site test results may be different.
