TouchBio Vitamin D Rapid Test Kit - For Self-Testing

PREPARATION:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds using soap and water, or hand sanitiser to avoid contaminating the test.
2. Bring the pouch to room temperature (15-30°C) before opening it. 
3. Open the pouch, remove the test cassette and place it on a clean and level surface. Run the test within one hour and best results will be obtained if the test is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch. 
4. Remove the dropper, buffer vial, lancet and alcohol pad, and place them close to the test cassette.  

SAMPLE COLLECTION:

1. Carefully pull off and dispose the released cap of the lancet.
2. Use the provided alcohol pad to clean the fingertip of the middle or ring finger as the picture site. Allow to air dry. 
3. Press the lancet, on the side from where the cap was extracted: the tip retracts automatically and safely after use. 
4. Massage the hand without touching the puncture site by massaging the hand towards the fingertip of the middle or ring finger to be punctured.
5. Keeping the hand down, massage the end that was pricked to obtain a blood drop.
6. Without squeezing the capillary dropper bulb, put it in contact with the blood. The blood migrates into the capillary dropper through the capillarity to the line indicated on the capillary dropper. 
7. You may massage your finger again to obtain more blood if the blood does not reach the indicated line. Avoid air bubbles. 
8. Release the blood collected into the Specimen well (S) of the cassette, by squeezing the dropper bulb.
9. Wait for the blood to be totally dispensed in the well. Unscrew the cap of the buffer bottle and add 2 drops of buffer into the Buffer well (B) of the cassette and start a timer.
10. Wait for the coloured line(s) to appear. Read the results at 10 minutes. Compare the T line intensity with “Vitamin D Colour card” provided with the kit to get the Vitamin D level in your blood. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
