Obtaining a blood sample Prepare the selected blood collection site and obtain
blood from the patient per facility policy.
Recommendations for the collection of capillary
blood
If no facility policy exists for obtaining capillary blood, the
patient's hands (or heel in the case of small children)
should be washed with warm water and soap, and then
dried thoroughly. If you are using alcohol wipes or other
disinfectants when obtaining capillary blood, the patient's
skin must be completely dry before you lance the site to
obtain blood.
Use an auto-disabling single-use lancing device for each
patient. The lancing device must be intended for use by
healthcare professionals in a multiple patient setting.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
We recommend obtaining the capillary blood sample
from the side of the fingertip as this part is the least
sensitive to pain.
WARNING
Potential risk of incorrect results due to residues on
skin
■ Traces of food on the fingers or fatty residues from
hand cremes or soap products may contaminate the
sample and lead to incorrect results. Wash the punc-
ture site thoroughly and rinse with plenty of water.
■ Residues of water or disinfectant on the skin can
dilute the drop of blood and lead to incorrect results.
After you have washed and disinfected the site,
ensure that the patient's skin is completely dry before
lancing the site to obtain a capillary blood sample.
