a holder for receiving a sample source that provides the blood sample, the holder having an actuation portion and a port;
a lancet housing removably secured within the port, the lancet housing having an inlet and an interior; and
a hollow puncturing element defining a flow path in fluid communication with the collection cavity of the container, the hollow puncturing element being moveable between a pre-actuated position in which the hollow puncturing element is retained within the interior and a puncturing position in which at least a portion of the hollow puncturing element extends through the inlet; and
a vibration device removably attachable to the blood collection device configured such that, attaching the vibration device to the blood collection device activates the vibration device to vibrate an entirety of the blood collection device, and removing the vibration device from the blood collection device deactivates the vibration device.
