Product Usage Instructions

1. Place your hand on a firm surface.
2. Place the lancet diagonally on the tip of your finger, using
   the side of the fingertip pad as the puncture site.
3. Press the lancet firmly against the finger until it releases.
   Note: The lancet can only be released once.
4. Press the thumb of your other hand below the sampling spot and
   pull back on the skin slightly.
5. Encourage blood flow by standing up and holding your hand below
   the heart. Gently massage your finger from the palm of your hand to
   your fingertip until a drop of blood forms.
6. Before collecting the blood, use the swab (NOT the alcohol
   wipe) to wipe off the first drop of blood. Wait until a big drop
   has formed again.
7. Let a large blood drop fall onto the marked circle on the dried
   blood spot card. If the drop doesn’t fall on its own, hold the
   dried blood spot card carefully against the drop without touching
   the paper to your finger.
8. For the best evaluation of the sample, ensure the blood drop
   covers the circle inside the marking completely.
9. Repeat this process until you have completed three circles. If
   you fill up more than three circles, your sample will still be
   evaluated.
10. After taking the blood, use the swab and patch to clean and
    cover the wound.
11. Remove the square code sticker from the test-ID card and stick
    it on the dried blood spot card in the designated area.
12. Allow the dried blood spot card to dry for 2 to 3 hours at room
    temperature on a flat, dry surface protected from direct
    sunlight.
13. Ensure the blood is completely dried before putting the dried
    blood spot card in the envelope.
14. Place the dried blood spot card in the provided return envelope
    with address. Close the envelope carefully and send it immediately
    by post free of charge.
15. Check if the test has been activated and dispose of the used
    parts of the test kit in the transparent plastic bag in household
    waste.
