Instruction

Wash your hands

Wash your hands in hot water for about a minute. This will increase blood circulation in your fingers. Dry your hands.

NOTE: Doing a blood test without stimulating blood circulation might prove difficult, so please do not skip this step!

Instruction

Disinfect your finger

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

Instruction

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.

Instruction

Place your hand on a flat surface

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 again.

Instruction

Encourage blood flow

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.

Instruction

Drip the blood onto the circles on the paper

Drip the blood onto the circles on the paper. Standing up will help. It is very important that you fill all the circles completely, otherwise the lab will not be able to complete the test and you will need to send in a new one.

Instruction

Place your test-ID onto the paper and let dry

Place the sticker with your unique test-ID onto the paper. Wait 2 hours for the blood to dry.

Instruction

Put back into the plastic cover

When the blood has dried for 2 hours, put the paper in the plastic cover it arrived in.

Instruction

Send the test to the lab

Put the plastic cover in the enclosed envelope and make sure to send it the same day, preferably on Monday or Tuesday.
