Allow alcohol to dry unassisted. • Twist off the blue protective lancet cover. Place the lancet lightly on the tip of your clean finger and press downward firmly into your finger until a click is heard. • Wipe away the first show of blood with gauze. • Gently squeeze the flnger to allow a blood drop to form. This can take 15-30 seconds - be patient. • Let the blood drop off your finger onto the collection card into the center circle. • Repeat steps 8-9 to collect all 3 blood spots. • When the blood spot is collected, apply pressure to the finger with the gauze pad and bandage the prick site. • Let the blood spot dry with the flap open for several minutes. Fold the flap on the collection card over to cover the dried blood spot. • Place the sample collection card in the plastic bag and seal the bag. Place this bag in the pre-paid return mail envelope, then mail on the same day. • Discard the lancet and other supplies in the trash.
