Wipe away the residual blood with a clean, dry gauze pad and use the second blooddrop to begin the capillary tube collection of 40μL of blood to dose the Lipid Panel teststrip. With a gentle, but firm squeeze near the first knuckle, produce a large drop at thefingerstick site and touch the tip of the capillary blood collector or calibrated pipette tothe drop. With 2 to 3 squeeze-and-release motions, allow the horizontal fill of thecapillary tube without the introduction of bubbles or air spaces. In order to prevent air bubbles or gaps, hold the capillary tube at a slight upwardangle and fill the capillary tube to the black line.8. See section VI to perform the test.B.
