Step 1: Collect Blood
CAUTION: Only use the heparinized capillary tubes provided
with the LeadCare II Test Kit. The capillary tube must be filled to
the fill line (50 µl) for accurate results. Check to make sure that
the tube is free of gaps and bubbles. After collection, wipe the
capillary tube with a gauze pad (wipe downward). The accuracy
of the test depends on a precisely measured sample.
1. Label a treatment reagent tube with the patient ID using
the label provided.
2. Holding the heparinized capillary tube almost horizontally
with the green band on top, fill to the 50 µL black line.
Filling stops when the sample reaches the black line.
Do NOT use plasma or serum. Do NOT use
venous blood samples.
NOTE:
The CDC’s steps for collecting fingerstick blood
samples for lead testing is provided in Appendix D of
this User’s Guide
.
3. Remove excess blood from the outside of the tube with a
clean wipe or gauze pad. Use a downward motion to wipe
excess blood from the capillary tube.
Use caution not to absorb the blood from the end of
the capillary tube.
4. Inspect the capillary tube for proper filling. Make sure
there are no gaps, air bubbles, or any excess blood on
the outside of the capillary tube.
