When collected improperly, the physician is likely to treat the patient according to results made inaccurate during the collection process. In this video, you will learn the proper procedure for performing fingersticks, heelsticks, and newborn screening collections based on the CLSI standards.
Features include:
- stunning 3D graphic animation identifying the proper sites for fingersticks;
- vivid graphic animation of what happens when skin puncture tubes are collected in the wrong order;
- content reflecting CLSI’s skin puncture standard and OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard;
- an opportunity to earn 1.0 hour of ASCLS P.A.C.E.® continuing education credit.

- identify the acceptable sites for skin puncture on newborns, infants, and older patients;
- submit properly collected newborn screen cards for testing;
- implement techniques to obtain adequate volumes of high quality capillary blood specimens from any patient.
