IMPORTANT! READ ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE USE

The MyAllergyTlest is used with a fingerstick blood sample to determine if you have allergies to 10 of the most common allergens. The MyAllergyTest is for the collection and transport of a capillary blood sample to a clinical laboratory for analysis and reporting directly to the consumer allergen specific IgE test results. No physician order is required for a consumer to purchase MyAllergyTest, order that the test be run, or receive test results. MyAllergyTest is intended for use with the MyAllergyTest System used in the clinical laboratory that runs the test and reports test results to consumers. MyAllergyTest is intended for home use by the lay consumer (Over-The- Counter). 

The 10 allergens tested are:

For non-food allergens, the MyAllergyTest System correctly identified 93 percent of the cases, and for food allergens, the MyAllergyTest System correctly identified 90 percent of the cases, when the results were compared to results obtained with another, standard laboratory testing system.1

NOTE: High fat meals may affect test results. For best results, collect the blood sample before eating or several hours after a meal.

1 Blood Collection Tube 1 Funnel	2 single-use Safety Lancets
1 Card of Bar Code Labels 1 Alcohol Prep Pad 1 Adhesive Bandage Plus: 1 Personal Information Card 1 Registration Card 1 Bubble-wrap Envelope 1 Foil Shipping Envelope

• Carefully remove all parts of the kit and place them on a clean, dry surface.
• If any part of the test device is broken or opened, do not use.

• Do not open the Pouch until ready to use.

	Read the Directions This is very important: Before you stick your finger, read all directions carefully. Also read the section "What can I do to make the blood collection easier?" on the back of this insert.
	Prepare Your Cards Fill in all the required spaces of the Registration Card. Please print clearly. The MyAllergyTest Laboratory must receive your Registration Card and your blood sample within 10 days of blood collection. Please mail your sample promptly Write in the date of blood collection on the Personal Information Card, attach your PEN, and keep for your records.
	Wash and Dry Hands Wash your hands with soap and warm tap water. Dry your hands thoroughly.
	Assemble Blood Collection Tube Push the funnel through the cap of the blood collection tube, making sure the wing of the funnel points to the corner of the cap. (The cap has an "X" cut in it.)

STEP 2: GET A BLOOD SAMPLE

High fat meals may affect results. For best results, collect the blood sample before eating or several hours after a meal.

	Choose Finger and Puncture Site Choose your middle or ring finger. Your finger should be warm and callus-free. For best results, choose an area to the side of the soft pad of the fingertip, on the side of the finger closest to your little finger.
	Pull the lancet's protective tab away from the lancet.
	Clean the Puncture Site Use the alcohol pad to clean the fingertip. Save the alcohol pad for use after taking your blood sample. LET YOUR FINGER DRY COMPLETELY.
	Shake Your Hand Stand up and let your hand hang down. Shake your hand to increase the flow of blood.
	Stick Your Finger Lay your hand on a clean flat surface to support the finger you are going to stick, Hold the Safety Lancet between the first and second fingers of your free hand, as seen in the picture. Push the Safety Lancet firmly against the chosen fingertip. With your thumb, press the white button on the Safety Lancet until you hear a click. This will take some force.

	You may not see any blood until you squeeze your finger. From a standing position, gently "milk" the hand and finger toward the fingerstick site. Wait a few seconds between squeezes to allow the finger to fill with blood. When the fingertip is filled with blood, gently squeeze the finger right above the fingerstick site. Do not squeeze the finger too hard. Doing so may affect the blood sample. Always keep your hand below your heart.
	Collect Blood When you see a drop of blood, let the blood flow into the funnel of the Blood Collection Tube. If necessary, you may scrape the blood into the funnel. Caution: Blood begins to clot in about 9 seconds. Please collect your sample as quickly as possible.
	Continue to gently "milk" the hand and finger toward the fingerstick site, and let the blood flow down into the funnel of the Blood Collection Tube. Keep collecting blood until you have collected 4 or 5 drops. If necessary, use the second lancet, and repeat the above process.
	Holding the wing of the funnel, tap the Blood Collection Tube on a table until the blood flows out of the funnel and into the bottom of the Tube.
	Apply Bandage After collecting your blood, wipe your fingertip with the alcohol pad, and apply the bandage to your finger.
	Remove the Funnel After tapping all of the blood down into the Tube, pull the funnel out of the Blood Collection Tube. Make sure the Blood Collection Tube cap is on securely. Safely dispose of the used Safety Lancet, collection funnel, and all other used materials in your home garbage.

STEP 3: ATTACH THE BAR CODE LABELS

	Attach Label 1 to the Personal Information Card. Keep this card in a safe location. You will need your PIN (Personal Identification Number) if you choose to get your test results from the Internet. Attach Label 2 to the Registration Card.
	Write your name on Label 3 and attach it to the Blood Collection Tube, so that the bar code and number ends are back to back, as seen in the picture. Attach Label 4 anywhere on the back of the pre-addressed Foil Shipping Envelope.
