Mescreen Blood Card Instructions

Please follow these instructions exactly to ensure excellent blood flow – if blood does not flow easily and quickly in the first few seconds, do not continue as you may not have enough blood flow due to lack of hydration or normal heart rate.

Once the blood card is marked in any way, it is not possible to return or refund the test so please prepare correctly.

Replacement blood cards are chargeable so please ensure you follow the instructions below:

Before You do the Test

1. Fill in the card first

Complete the blood card details before adding blood, and write your email address on the back.

2. Take a Picture of Your Barcode for Future Reference

Take a clear picture of your barcode. You’ll need this for completing the health survey
in step 15 to ensure accurate tracking of your sample.

3. Prepare for optimal blood flow.

Before collecting a blood sample, it's crucial to ensure that your blood flow is at its peak.

4. Over- hydrate

About 20–25 minutes before, drink 2 big glasses of water to help improve blood flow.

5. Warm up your hands

Run your hand(s) under warm water for 30–60 seconds to get the blood flowing.

6. Jog on the spot

Jog on the spot until your heart rate is really high to get circulation moving (right before you prick).

7. Windmill your arm

Windmill your arm like you’re bowling a cricket ball at the same time as you jog on
the spot to get the blood to the extremities of the hand.

8. Prick firmly

When using the lancet, press firmly so you get a good blood flow.

9. Add blood to the card

Put 5 drops of blood into each square. DO NOT let blood drop into the rectangles.

10. Spread Enough Blood

Add enough blood so that it spreads into the rectangles and goes past the first black line.

11. Stand the card up

Stand the card up and leave to spread and dry for 60 mins.

12. Place the Dried Card in the White Specimen Bag

Put the dried card into the white specimen bag (do not remove anything from the bag).

13. Place Specimen Bag in Biohazard Bag

After placing your dried blood card in the white specimen bag, it's
important to ensure it’s safely stored and ready for transport.
