What can I expect during a blood test at VitalScan?
Before your blood test, you will be greeted at the check in desk and escorted to a private exam area to sit or recline while we prepare for the test. Here are the three steps you can anticipate during your blood test:
Step 1
We will place an elastic band around one of your arms to see your veins properly.
Step 2
A small amount of blood will be taken from a vein in your arm.
Step 3
After collected, the needle is removed, and the area is covered with a bandage.
After collection, your blood test tube(s) or vial(s) will be sent to a lab for analysis. The results of your blood test will be available online within a few days, and you can consult with a doctor at VitalScan about your results to fully understand what they mean for your health.
A blood test is one of the most common tests available, and is very safe. If you are at all uneasy about having a blood test, just tell us! We can help to make your blood test a pleasant, easy, and painless experience. There is no downtime after your test, so you can return to your normal activities right away.
