How to take the test

Recommendations

If you want more information before taking a blood sample, here are some advice.

It is important to be calm and relaxed, have plenty of time for the task and to be warm in the body. If you feel frozen, a hot shower can be a good start. If you do not have the opportunity for a shower you may want to keep your hands and wrists under warm water for 30-60 seconds when you wash them and circle the arm longer than advised. Make sure to drink a lot of water the day before, it supports a successful blood collection!

Try to place the lancet at an angle to your finger so that as much tissue as possible is "injured" and correspondingly more blood emerges. According to our customers the best finger for blood sampling is from your middle finger of the left hand.

Place your hand on the table top, press the lancet as firmly as you can on the side of the finger. This way you get deeper into the tissue with the lancet. You can also easily retract the skin of your finger after the puncture so that the wound opens a little. Now remember to encourage blood flow by standing up and hold your hand below the heart.

Gently massage your finger from the palm of your hand to your fingertip until a drop of blood forms. Be patience! Try to be relaxed and if you feel tense in your body, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Let the drop become so heavy that it falls by itself, then the drop will fill the whole circle. Good luck!

1. For optimal accuracy, perform this test on an empty stomach. Take your test in the morning after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, and complete it before consuming any food.

Only water is permitted during the fasting period. Zinzino Test is an approved in vitro diagnostics product for personal blood sample collection at home.
- First wash your hands with soap and
rinse well with warm water and dry them.

2. Take out the sample card from the paper envelope. Save the envelope for later use.

Tear off the SAVE part on the sample card and take a picture of the Test ID. You can ONLY see YOUR test result with your anonymous Test ID. Place the card with the two circles facing up on the table.

3. Stimulate blood flow by making big circles with your arm or shaking the hand downwards for 20 seconds.

4. Take out the single-use lancet. Remove the transparent safety cap and the lancet is ready to use.

Use alcohol wipe to clean the tip of your finger (middle finger is recommended).

Place the lancet against the lower part of the fingertip facing the collection paper on the table. Push the top of the lancet towards the finger until you hear a click. The lancet will automatically make a small prick in the finger.

5. Do not touch the filter paper with your fingers.

6. Fill one circle at a time with blood. Squeeze your finger gently and wait for a drop of blood to fall inside the circle by itself. If one drop of blood does not cover the circle, allow one more drop from your finger to drip immediately.

Leave the sample card in a horizontal position in room temperature for at least 10 minutes for the samples to dry well.

7. Insert the sample card back into the paper envelope. Then place the paper envelope into the metal bag and close it.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove desiccant packet inside the metal bag.

8. Place the closed metal bag into the big envelope with the laboratory address on it. NOTE! You MUST put the correct amount of postage stamps on the envelope before you put in the mail box.

Go to internet and register your test code on www.zinzinotest.com. This is the web page where you can see your test results later. It takes 10-20 days until your result is ready.

IMPORTANT: Keep the SAVE part of the card. You can ONLY see YOUR test result on the internet with your anonymous Test ID.
