Science for a healthier life

SELFCHECK® is owned and operated by J R Biomedical Ltd, a UK based medical diagnostics company established in 2005. While many companies have recently entered the "wellness" market, we have been developing professional diagnostic devices for hospitals and research laboratories for nearly two decades.

We saw a growing need: patients were anxious about their health but faced increasing barriers to accessing routine testing. To help, hospital grade technology has been adapted for safe home use, ensuring the tests you use at your kitchen table meet the same rigorous standards as those used on a hospital ward.

Responsible healthcare. Not "self-diagnosis"

We operate to a strict ethical code: Self-testing is a preliminary screening or monitoring tool, not a diagnosis. We will never market self-testing kits as a replacement for professional medical advice. Instead, we view our tests as "patient empowerment tools." By monitoring your own physiological biomarkers - whether it's for stomach ulcers, thyroid function, or sexual health - you are gaining important information to have a more informed and effective conversation with your healthcare provider.

ISO13485 : The gold standard

Safety is our non-negotiable priority. Our R&D, device assembly and distribution facility in North Wales is certified to ISO 13485:2016 - the internationally recognised standard for medical device quality management.

Traceability

Every component in your test kit is traceable to its source.

Comfort and safety

Industry leaders like Owen Mumford provide our Unistik® 3 safety lancets, which use Comfort Zone Technology™ to reduce the pain of finger-prick testing and make blood collection easier (1).

Validated accuracy

Our SELFCHECK medical test devices are manufactured in partnership with European medical device companies, including VEDALAB in France, and are CE-marked specifically for self-testing.

Professional customer care when you need it

With 20 years experience developing new medical diagnostics for use in the hospital laboratory as well as for self-testing, we have the expertise to provide prompt support if you need any help to understand how your test works.

Information for healthcare professionals

We know that healthcare professionals need to have confidence that their patient's self-testing kits are fit for purpose and meet all UK regulations, that's why we have created a separate section on our website with data sheets for each of our medical products.
