Getting a good capillary blood sample

To get a suitable drop of blood:
• Wash your hands in warm water and dry
thoroughly.
WARNING
Residues of water on the skin can dilute the
drop of blood and produce false results.
• Let your hand hang at your side before
lancing your finger.
• Immediately after lancing, massage gently
along the side of your finger to obtain
a sufficiently large blood drop without
pressing or squeezing too hard.
