Step 1.b. - Read Informed Consent Section - Before registering your Home Access Code Number, read the conditions of Informed consent found here.

Step 1.c. - Register Your Home Access Code Number - Before collecting your blood spot specimen, you must call 1-800-400-8988 to register your code number. Register any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Counselors are available (except holidays) for assistance and to answer questions.

Step 2: Collecting a blood spot specimen

Step 2.a. - Find a Clean, Dry Place to Collect Your Blood Spot Specimen - Place your specimen collection kit on a clean, dry surface where you can work without interruption for about 20 minutes.

Step 2.b. - Read All Specimen Collection Instructions - Read and carefully follow the directions for use inside your kit.

Step 2.c. - Wash and Dry Hands - Wash your hands with soap and warm (not hot) tap water. Dry your hands thoroughly.

Step 2.d. - Uncover Blood Specimen Collection Card Circle - Before you draw your blood drops, uncover the printed circle on the Blood Specimen Collection Card.

Step 2.e. - Choose Finger and Puncture Site - Choose a puncture site on the "soft" pad of the fingertip, preferably on the middle or ring finger.

Step 2.f. - Clean Puncture Site with Alcohol Prep Pad and Dry with Gauze Pad - Clean the selected puncture site with the Alcohol Prep Pad.

Step 2.g. - Stimulate Blood Flow to the Fingers - Let your hand with the finger you intend to lance hang at your side for 30 seconds. Vigorously "shake" your fingers and arm back and forth for a few seconds.

Step 2.h. - Position your Hand and Safety Lancet - Support the back of your hand on a table or countertop with the palm up. Place the Safety Lancet in the other hand between the first and second fingers. Your thumb should be on the lancet trigger.

Step 2.i. - Draw Blood Drops - Firmly press the tip of the Safety Lancet against the pad of the selected finger, using steady pressure to form a dimple. Forcefully depress the lancet's trigger with your thumb.

Step 2.j. - Apply Pressure to Finger Near Puncture Site - Turn your hand over and let large drops of blood collect at the puncture site. To increase blood flow, use your thumb and first finger on your other hand to gently apply pressure around puncture site.

Step 2.k. - Add Blood Drops to Circle on Blood Specimen Collection Card - Add Blood Drops to Circle on Blood Specimen Collection Card

Step 2.l. - Check Back of Circle to See if Blood Soaked Through - To ensure you have enough blood on the Blood Specimen Collection Card pull back the protective cover and inspect the circle on the back. If there are areas where the blood has not soaked through, place additional blood drops on the front side of that area until the circle on the back is completely filled.

Step 2.m. - Apply Bandage - After completely filling the circle with blood, apply an Adhesive Bandage to the puncture site.

Step 2.n. - Place Used Safety Lancet(s) in Lancet Disposal Container - Put used Safety Lancet(s) in the Lancet Disposal Container. Snap the container shut by pressing down hard on the lid. Safely dispose of the sealed Lancet Disposal Container and all other used materials in your home garbage.

Step 3.c. - Place Specimen Return Pouch in Cardboard U.S. Mail Envelope - Place the sealed Specimen Return Pouch in the Cardboard U.S. Mail Envelope. To seal the Cardboard Envelope, peel off the adhesive cover, fold down the flap and press down hard on the flap.
