How do we offer pain-free testing from home?

Most at-home health tests supply a finger-prick lancet for collecting the blood sample, which pierces the skin at the end of the finger so blood can be squeezed out. Some people experience mild pain using this process, and it can result in sample contamination and inaccurate results.

To combat this, DocHQ also offers an innovative TAP® II blood collection device, which takes the sample from the upper arm and is completely painless. It also significantly reduces the chance of sample contamination and haemolysis.

Why use the TAP II device?

  • Virtually painless
  • Low risk of haemolysis
  • Low risk of contamination
  • Comparable to venous blood draw
