See my previous more detailed posts but I would definitely take more than one test from different labs moving forward. Guessing you failed the fingerpick test from USDTL (test lab not necessarily who you took it with)? If so I would go somewhere that does the labcorp version (request a test being one). I would take both every time I was ask to test going forward.

I wouldn't do another finger stick PEth test unless I had a venous draw done On the same day. I did that before. I went thru request a test who used labcorp.
If you have to have the finger stick tset, make sure all steps are followed. Inspect the packaging of the test. Make sure they don't use alcohol wipes and that if they use hand sanitizer before putting gloves on, that their hands are dry
