Wash and warm your hands
Wash your hands with warm water for 30 seconds. Let dry. Stand up and shake hands vigorously for 15 seconds.
Unwrap gauze dressing and bandage and set aside.
Clean your fingertip
Open the alcohol pad and clean the finger tip of your middle or ring finger on your non-dominant hand. Air dry for 10 seconds.
Step 4
Remove a protective cover on a lancet Rotate the protective cover on the blood lancet (yellow, blue or purple/pink lancet) to remove it. Use the extra lancet if you need to do another finger stick.
Step 5
Place your hand on a flat surface. Put the lancet diagonally toward the test finger and press down the yellow button. Make sure the lancet is pressed against the finger the whole time.
Note: :The lancet can only be used once. If you have pressed the button without placing the lancet against your finger, you will not be able to use it aga
Step 6
We recommend that you stand up at this stage to let the blood in your arm flow downward. Help the blood drops come out by massaging the finger toward the needle stick.
Step 7
Drip the blood into the test tube. Standing up will help.
It is very important that you fill the tube to the upper 600 line, otherwise the lab will not be able to complete the test and you will need to send in a new one.
Step 8
Place the sticker with your unique test-ID onto the tube. Store in the fridge until you send it.
Step 9
Put the test tube in the pre-stamped envelope. Send the test to the lab the same day, preferably on Monday.
