When using the Vitl blood testing kit, collecting a sufficient blood sample is essential for accurate test results. If you encounter difficulties in collecting enough blood using all the provided lancets, the following guidance will help:
Steps to Take:
Request a Replacement Kit: - If you have used all the lancets provided in your kit and still cannot collect enough blood, you can request a new testing kit with additional lancets from Vitl. This ensures you have the necessary tools to complete your sample collection process.
Improve Blood Flow for Collection: - To enhance blood flow during the collection process, follow these tips: - Wait a few seconds after pricking your finger to allow blood flow to stabilize. - Position your arm so it is hanging down, encouraging gravity to assist blood flow. - Massage your hand starting from the bottom and move toward the fingertips gently. This technique helps to improve blood circulation.
