Adjustable Lancing Device with Ejector is supplied with standard end caps but can also be used with optional Alternate Site Testing (AST) end caps for conventional capillary blood sampling from the finger tips.

Suitable for use with  twist lancets and most other popular lancet brands.

Variable penetration.

A clear adjustable end cap and a fixed end cap, as illustrated, are also available as optional extras for Alternate Site testing (AST). These items are not supplied as standard and must be ordered separately from the SteriLance LDE device if they are required.

Alternate Site Testing is a procedure in which capillary blood is taken from sites other than the finger tips; a fleshy part of the arm or some other site which is free from visible veins and hair may be used.

This can be beneficial because sites can be chosen which are less sensitive than the finger tips and therefore offer a greater degree of comfort during regular blood sampling.

Alternate Site Testing generally produces less blood flow and smaller samples than the normal finger tip procedure but is suitable for producing samples for use with certain blood glucose monitoring systems.

Before attempting Alternate Site Testing users are advised to consult the instructions supplied with their blood glucose monitoring system and talk to their professional medical advisor.

Instructions for using the adjustable or clear fixed end caps for Alternate Site Testing are supplied with the Sterilance.
