On my tests says: for in-vitro diagnostics use only? why?

this just means in a test tube...not going into the body...when you pee its outside your body i e vitro..not in vivo, or within an organism

I don't make the product, they are from China I think. They did work for me, I have a newborn now :) I also gave a few to a friend and she's now pregnant with twins.

I would only use if you also have a pH tester (which I use) so you know the actual pH of the liquid your giving your child

There were 2 tests for several different molds, but could only be used one time each. So you couldn't do any additional tests in additional locations.

I think any lancet can be used. The point of using a lancet is to prick yourself for a blood sample. Walgreen also carries travel lancets, one time use and throw away. It's for testing on the go. Makes life easier. But any lancet you decide on will work. I often use my lifestyle because it less painful. Hope this helps

I'd be careful. I know nothing about "testing," but I ordered it and took it for awhile. I stopped because it seemed to be making me jittery. Caveat emptor.

Hey Leon. I haven't done a control test in a long time and my CardioChek still comes very close to my medical blood test. It's been a long time but, as I recall, the instructions seemed to refer to a test strip that I had to somehow purchase BUT that my monitor also arrived with a grey strip that could be used as a control. I have never used anything but the grey, plastic strip and (like I say) I haven't seen a significant difference between the personal and hospital tests, in years. One thing you'll have to look out for. I rarely run a test and my strips sometimes "expire" before I get to use them all. I suspect this is mostly a gimmick to sell more strips. For example, how could a strip be valid on January 4th and then be expired/worthless on January 5th? But in general, I think this is a great device for measuring TRENDS in blood cholesterol and triglycerides.

i don't know, but maybe a consumer test kit could be found online? maybe i should check it out!

This is a kit for you to collect samples of mold. You then have to send the samples to a lab along with a check to be tested. It works, but if you want a kit which gives you instant results it will cost significantly more.

No. I tis designed to test off the shelf batteries. I personally have used it to test rechargables. It works on some but not on others. Have no idea why.

Hi,I know there is a special test fluid you can buy to check every bottle of test strips before you use them to make sure they are functioning properly, never had a box longer then about 3 months and never had a problem besides once in a while an individual strip giving an error message. Maybe you can contact the company/maker of the tests trips directly to make sure before you buy. Have a great day

Simple for me - but it is best to use plain paper to run test samples first to make sure you have it lined up correctly. Different printers and settings make results different so with test prints on regular paper you can adjust your settings without wasting product.

The lancets are what you stick your finger with. You can use whatever brand you want. If you are talking about the test strips, you need to buy the ones made specifically for your tester.

Me too! Just been a few days. Researched lots. Bought the True2Go kit at Walgreens for about $15. Comes with just 10 strips <buy these for extra!>, and has a bag of lancets but you'll need more after a few days.Go with 33gauge for comfort.Works on tough skin, too by adjusting the depth setting on the lancer from 1-5. I began with 1 and went up until it pricked my finger with the 3. Highly suggest the True2Go. Takes the littlest dtop of blood, very gentle on the skin once you find the depth dial you need. I use 3, my bf needed a 5 <he tested the unit for me>, holds many readings in memory, too! Me too! Just been a few days. Researched lots. Bought the True2Go kit at Walgreens for about $15.

You must buy a whole new kit after finishing the tests. The monitor is calibrated to the test packets and programmed for only those 20 tests. The kit is only good for a maximum of 12 months and should be refrigerated to get maximum usage. BTW Bayer is discontinuing this product.

Good question. I hadn't looked and am distressed to see that I have 16 tests left with an expiry date of 8/26/14. I do think they're good far beyond the date, though--least I hope!

the LH and HCG tests are in their own little package. You need to only open one at a time.
