For Testing on Palm and Forearm:
Hold the lancing device (use the clear adjustable cap) against the test site
(base of palm or forearm). Avoid
a test site that has veins, moles,
excessive hair, or bone.
Press the lancing device firmly against
the test site and press the release
button, do not lift up the lancing device.
For forearm test sites, apply and release
pressure ("pumping") for a few seconds
while keeping the lancing device in
constant contact with the skin. Palm test-
ing (at the base of the thumb) does not
require pumping. When the blood is ap-
proximately ( ) size, lift the lancing de-
vice straight up without smearing the
blood.
NOTE:
• Rubbing forearm until warm before lancing will help minimize the
difference with fingertip test results. The palm (at the base of the
thumb) does not require rubbing before testing.
• If results from alternate site testing do not agree with how you feel,
use fingertip testing instead.
