Question 1

Q: Are these tests a replacement for seeing a doctor?

Accepted Answer

No. These kits are designed as screening tools or indicators only. They can give you helpful information to take to your healthcare professional, but they do not replace a medical consultation, diagnosis, or treatment plan.

Question 2

Q: How accurate are the results?

Accepted Answer

Each test has been designed to provide a high level of accuracy when used correctly and within the specified timeframe. Always read the instructions carefully and follow them step-by-step. If your result doesn’t match how you feel, or you’re unsure, speak with your doctor or pharmacist.

Question 3

Q: Can I use these tests more than once?

Accepted Answer

Each test strip or cassette is single-use only. Some kits contain multiple tests, but each individual device can only be used once and then must be discarded.

Question 4

Q: How should I store the test kits?

Accepted Answer

Store the kits in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not refrigerate or freeze unless the instructions specifically say so, and always check the expiry date before use.

Question 5

Q: What if my test has expired?

Accepted Answer

Do not use expired tests. The results may be unreliable. Safely dispose of the expired kit and use a new, in-date test.
