I'm having difficulty drawing blood from my finger. How can I enhance blood flow?Updated 3 months ago

Follow these steps to prepare for easier blood collection:

  • Staying well-hydrated before the test is beneficial.
  • Wash your hands under warm water for at least 2 minutes.
  • Swing your arms at your sides for at least 30 seconds to boost circulation.
  • We suggest choosing your ring or middle finger for sample collection. Rub the tips of your middle and ring fingers until they feel warm.
  • Position the lancet on the side of your finger, avoiding the center.
  • Gently massage your palm toward your finger to encourage blood to flow into the collection circles.

Please note that each drop should fill at least 75% of the collection circle. See examples here!
