How to non-invasively collect samples from suspicious, pigmented lesions with the DermTech Melanoma Test. First, discuss the noninvasive skin sample collection procedure with your patient, then:
1. Trim excessive hair with scissors. Ensure no blood.
2. Fill out the front of the Sample Collector Trifold. All information is required for the sample to be processed.
3. Thoroughly cleanse lesion site with enclosed 70% alcohol pad.
4. Thoroughly dry by gently pressing enclosed gauze pad over lesion. Do not proceed to sample collection until lesion is completely dry.
5. Open Sample Collector Trifold. Remove and discard the blue paper liner and the “Remove Before Use” seal.
6. Remove the first Smart Sticker.
7. Hold skin tight and center first Smart Sticker directly over lesion.
8. Use thumb to firmly press Smart Sticker for 10 seconds. This will help maximize the amount of tissue collected.
9. Use the provided ultra-fine permanent marker to outline the mole. Ensure lesion is fully enclosed by the outline.
10. Remove the Smart Sticker by slowly and continuously peeling it from the skin in one direction.
11. Place the collected sample with adhesive side down directly on the pre-marked oval area in the Sample Collector Trifold.
12. Repeat Steps 7-11 with the remaining Smart Stickers until all four (4) stickers are used on the lesion.
13. Re-confirm patient information is completed and accurate on Sample Collector Trifold. Place sample into re-sealable foil bag containing desiccant pouch.
14. Return sample in provided envelope within 5 days of sample collection along with completed Test Requisition Form.
