Before you test
-
Check if you have registered your kit.
-
Fasting for 8 hours or more before your test may provide more reliable results. Please fast if your panel includes blood sugar (glucose), cholesterol (lipid panel), or basic metabolic panel (BMP) tests.
-
Set aside some time. Your sample needs to dry for 60 minutes and collection should be shipped within 24 hours.
Step 1: Prep for the test
1. Place the collection card on a clean, dry surface, like a desk or counter.
2. Drink some water (16oz) an hour before taking your sample. Stand while collecting.
3. Write down your info on the line at the bottom of the card.
​
4. Open the gauze pad and set aside.
5. Wash hands with soap and warm water for 3-5 minutes.
​
6. Twist the cap, and pull to remove the protective tip from the lancet.
​
Step 2: Collect
7. Choose the collection site on the side of your finger. Clean your finger with the sting relief and alcohol pad.
8. Push the lancet to prick the finger until you hear a click.
9. Once you prick it, use gauze pad to wipe away the first drop of blood.
10. Let 4-6 large drops fall to the square side of the test card without touching the collection card.
11. Make sure the blood passes the first line and has clear serum.
If the red blood does NOT pass the first line, our lab will NOT be able to analyze your sample.
If your sample is entirely red, rather than separating, that means that the red blood cells burst and you need to repeat your test.
Tip: Avoid squeezing your fingertip too hard when taking the test to reduce the risk of hemolysis.
If you could not fill up the card with one prick, repeat the process with another finger or another lancet at the same spot.
If you your blood sample was not collected correctly, please take a picture of your sample, and send the picture to customer service help@endless.health instead of sending back the sample.
12. Apply the bandage and dispose the used lancet and gauze properly.
Step 3: Ship
13. Let the collection card dry for 60 minutes.
Once your sample is dry, put it into the pouch and seal.
​
Do NOT remove any of the contents inside. Put the sample pouch into the mailer with the shipping label.
​
Drop off the mailer at your nearest USPS box on the same day as collection.
You are all set!
