How to use a SELFCHECK blood test

Using a SELFCHECK blood test is simple and convenient. Each test kit contains everything you need to safely provide a few drops of blood and perform the test yourself. Within approximately 10 minutes, you will receive your test result. SELFCHECK tests are available from major UK retailers, or you can order online direct from SELFCHECK.

SELFCHECK is a prominent British brand known for its health screening self-test kits. Since 2012, we have been offering reliable results in just minutes, along with professional customer service. Our comprehensive range of tests caters to both men and women and covers various health concerns such as coeliac disease (gluten sensitivity), stomach ulcers (H pylori), bowel cancer (faecal immunochemical test), syphilis, chlamydia, allergies, cholesterol, and many others.

This video shows how to use a SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test, which indicates whether the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) is normal or high, and is used as a screening test for prostate cancer in men. Most of our other finger prick blood tests work in exactly the same way, but always read the instruction leaflet carefully before touching the components, or starting your test.

All SELFCHECK medical device components are manufactured in the EU and are assembled in the UK according to EU and UK law (IVDD/IVDR), in ISO13485:2016 certified laboratories. These are the exact, same regulations and performance requirements that apply to diagnostics used in NHS hospital laboratories. Information is provided with each test on what your results means, and advice on following up with your doctor.

We strongly believe that you should have complete confidence in the diagnostics you use. That is why, the components incorporated in SELFCHECK medical tests have been selected based on their quality rather than their price.

SELFCHECK self-test kits are independently evaluated by experts, and assembled in our own ISO13485 certified laboratories which are located in St Asaph, North Wales. Our quality assurance systems are inspected each year by UKAS certified auditors.
