Important to know

All SELFCHECK branded tests are assembled by us in the UK at our ISO13485 certified manufacturing and R&D facility. Our medical tests are also CE certified according to UK and EU regulations, and registered with MHRA as self-testing devices.

Our tests are based on the same principles used by hospital labs, and provide reliable, meaningful results, but self-testing is not meant to replace established NHS healthcare pathways. Always consider what a positive or negative result will mean to you before testing, and be aware of the limitations of the test you are using.

If you have symptoms that concern you, always speak with your pharmacist or doctor.
