Before you start, you need to register your test. Your test kit contains a sticker with your unique test-ID. If you need help creating an account, you can check our guide.

Open the silver pouch and take out the test cassette.

Wash your hands in hot water for about a minute. This will increase blood circulation in your fingers. Dry your hands. Shake your hands to get the blood flowing.

Disinfect your “test finger” with the supplied disinfectant paper. Wait a few seconds until the finger is completely dry.

Take the lancet, turn the protective cap once around its own axis and
pull it off.

Place the lancet on the side of your fingertip and press it against your finger so that the tip of the lancet shoots into your finger.

We recommend that you stand up at this stage to let the blood in your arm flow downward.

Hold your hand horizontally and massage your finger from the bottom to the puncture site until a blood drop is formed. Remove the first blood drop with a clean wipe.

Take one of the Mitra Devices and guide one of the Mitra Sticks to the drop of blood and wait until the white tip is completely saturated with blood. Repeat this with the second Mitra Device.

Finally, clean the puncture site with the second disinfectant wipe and cover it with the band-aid.

Leave the two Mitra devices to dry at room temperature in a dark place (e.g. a dark room) for 8 to (maximum) 24 hours.

Once the samples have dried after 8–24 hours, seal the Mitra devices.

Attach your unique QR code on outside of the Mitra device.

Seal the bags carefully.

Put the plastic cover in the envelope and send it.

Results are usually available 10–15 business days after we receive your sample.

As soon as your results are ready, we'll notify you by email and text message. Your results will then be available to view in your my.gettested.io account.
