This is a home test to check thyroid function by checking the level of TSH, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, in the blood, it works by setting a cut off of 5 uIU TSH /ml of blood.The test cassette detects the TSH in the sample. The blood is put into the test cassette and reacts with anti-TSH antibody coated particles which are in the test, the sample travels up the membrane of the cassette until it reaches the "T" line, if a line appears at the "T" line the volume of TSH is in excess of 5uIU/ml to trigger the coloured line and a visit to a Dr is advised, if the volume is less than 5uIU/ml the reaction with the anti-TSH antibodies will not trigger a coloured line and is considered normal.In the box you get the following: (see photograph)Instructions;Test cassette to put the blood sample in and read the result;Two needles (one spare);A bottle of buffer solution;a capillary dropper to draw the blood; andan alcohol wipe to clean the finger before drawing blood.The instructions explain how the test works and how to perform the test.It's fairly simple:1. Open the cassette and lay out ready to put the blood in.Be aware before opening the cassette that the capillary dropper (see separate photo of this) is also inside the wrapper, I was unaware so the dropper fell on the floor which could have contaminated the test;2.Take the top off one of the needles;3. Clean injection site with the alcohol wipe;4. Use the automatic needle to prick the finger;5. Place the capillary dropper into the blood, squeeze the finger until enough blood has been collected in the dropper;6. Squeeze the blood from the dropper into the test cassette;7. Add buffer solution; and finally8. Wait ten minutes.I've posted a photo of my test result which shows the TSH level is not over 5uIU/ml so my reading is not considered abnormal which is as I expected.At the time of testing the price was £19, probably more than the cost of travelling to the GP but assuming it works it gives instant peace of mind to rule out a potential cause of tiredness without waiting and advocating for a blood test.

Pretty nice and it's easy to use and it looks pretty good and it's rather easy to use. Overall this is pretty good and easy to use. I can't really comment on the accuracy tho.

Very difficult to get the bulb to work right to collect the blood didn’t have enough so it didn’t really work

Good product

I was a bit skeptical about this. But it was very easy to use and plain to read. Follow directions. I recommend this if you think your thyroid may be weak. It does not measure T3 or T4, but that was not what I was looking for. It only verified that I was not producing too much TSH. I ordered it one day and it was here the next. I tested the same day I received it.

Franchement il y'a toutes les langues sur la notice sauf le français. Au delà de l'aspect pratique, il y'a de quoi être un peu vexé.

I'm an RN with years of experience in drawing blood. This test is not worth the $7.00 I spent on it. First, the weird lancet device did not produce enough blood, and could only be used one time (a huge drawback). I borrowed my husband's diabetic fingerstick lancet and got blood with that. But THEN the little suction device they sent would not draw in the blood, no matter how many times I tried (multiple finger sticks). I finally just swiped my bloody finger over the test area. After getting the results, I realized they had sent me the WRONG TEST. Most of the instructions are in German, but the product was made in China. That figures. Also -- the instructions are needlessly complicated and don't make much sense.

Worked Good But....

The test kit worked like it should but there is one glaring drawback to the test kit the lancet to draw your blood with. The ones I was sent I couldn't get open to use so I had to use a lancet from a glucose monitoring kit to draw blood for the test. The test came back negative so I guess it worked no real review on that but otherwise it was a straight forward test kind of like a COVID test but with blood instead of mucus. If it weren't for the lancet problem I would have given it 5 stars.
