During the ESR Test

Once the ESR test has been booked with PharmEasy Labs, a phlebotomist will be assigned who will arrive at the location to collect the blood sample. The phlebotomist follows safety protocols and uses sterilised disposable gloves and needles to collect the sample. The vein finder device helps them locate the best vein in the forearm to draw blood from, minimising discomfort.
