˙ Blood from Sites Other Than the Fingertip
Please refer to the section of "About AST" for available punctured sites.
After penetration, gently massage the
punctured area to obtain blood. The volume
of blood sample must be at least 0.5 microliter
( actual size). But be attention NOT to smear
the blood sample. It is recommended to
discard the first drop of blood with a clean tis-
sue paper or cotton and use the second drop
of blood for testing.
˙Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures in the
same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
˙Before you decide to do AST, please consult your health professional
firstly.
˙Since the first drop of blood usually contains tissue fluid and serum,
which may affect the test result, it is recommended to be discarded.
STEP 4. Apply Blood into the Test Strip
When " " is flashing on the screen, apply your blood to the absorbent hole of the
test strip until the confirmation window is fully filled with blood. The meter then begins
to count down automatically.
