Do NOT rely on test results at an alternative sampling site, but use
samples taken from the fingertip, if any of the following applies:
● You think your blood sugar is low.
● You are not aware of symptoms when you become hypoglycemic.
● The results do not agree with the way you feel.
● After a meal.
● After exercise.
● During illness.
● During times of stress.
To obtain a blood sample from the alternative sites, please
rub the puncture site for approximately 20 seconds.
1. Replace the lancing device cap with the clear cap.
2. Pull the cocking control out until the orange bar appears on the release
button window.
Important!
● Do not use results from alternative site samples to calibrate continuous
glucose monitoring systems (CGMS), or for insulin dose calculations.
● Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures at the
same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
● Avoid lancing the areas with obvious veins to avoid excessive bleeding.
● It is recommended to discard the first drop of blood as it might contain
tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
