Tips for proper blood collection

  1. Hydration promotes blood flow. Be sure you are not dehydrated while performing collection.

  2. Do not perform collection immediately after smoking.

  3. Washing and warming your hands under warm water will help promote blood flow in your hands.

  4. Shake hands vigorously towards the floor to encourage blood flow to your fingers.

  5. Keep collection device and hands below your heart during collection for best blood flow.

  6. You may need more than one finger prick. Repeat these tips between each finger prick.

TO PREVENT REJECTED SPECIMENS, PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING COLLECTION

Wash hands with warm water for at least 30 seconds, then shake hands vigorously for 15 seconds to

encourage blood flow to your fingers.

Take the lancet and twist off the cap. Press the small tip firmly into the tip of your finger, near the tip, until the needle ejects with a click. Lancet is single use. All lancets need to be returned with your sample to the laboratory for disposal. Keeping your hand below your heart during collection, massage finger from base to tip to encourage blood flow.

Starting at the center, apply 3-6 drops to fill the circle and soak through the collection paper. Do not touch the paper with your finger as this will restrict blood flow. Once circle is full move on to next circle. It is okay for blood to extend beyond lines, but do not let blood spots spread into each other.

Do not add additional blood to a circle once completed or dry. The “layering” of blood will invalidate the collection.

NO

Not enough blood.

Fill circles completely.




NO

Do not layer blood once the paper has begun to dry.

Check the back side of blood collection paper. Blood should saturate all the way through and fill each circle of the collection paper.

Without closing the blood card, lay it on a flat surface and allow the blood collection paper to air dry at room temperature, for at least 30 minutes.

Do not heat, blow dry, or expose the blood collection paper to direct sunlight. Heat will damage the specimen.



When blood collection paper is dry, close blood card by tucking flap. Place the blood card and lancets into biohazard bag with the desiccant pack. Ensure biohazard bag is properly sealed.
