5.2 Alternative Site Testing (AST)

The FORA Lancing Device includes a clear alternate site end cap for testing on areas other than the fingertip, such as the forearm or palm. Consult your healthcare professional before performing AST, as results from alternative sites may differ from fingertip results, especially during periods of rapid glucose change.

  2. Select a suitable depth setting (AST generally requires a deeper setting due to thicker skin).
  3. Pull the cocking control back until it clicks.
  4. Press the clear AST cap firmly against the chosen alternative site (e.g., forearm or palm) and hold for a few seconds to create a vacuum.
