During the Thyroid Profile Test
The thyroid profile is a blood test and once it has been booked, a phlebotomist will arrive at the location at the specified date and time. The phlebotomist is an expert, and will draw the blood in a painless manner, using sterilised disposable needles and gloves. They use a vein finder device to locate the vein to draw blood from, clean and sterilise the area using ethanol, and then insert the needle. The samples are carefully stored in barcoded vials.
