The HCV Test is a blood-borne pathogen testing device with an integrated lancet and testing strip that folds into a self-contained sharps container. It works by squeezing the tabs on top of the test body, which releases a spring-loaded lancet that punctures the finger. The lancet release tabs are then used to squeeze blood from the puncture site onto the test strip.
