GetTested D-Dimer Test Kit

Ridiculous. The pipette supplied does not absorb any blood. It is really sub standard. A waste of money.

Helpful to have at home if you have a blood disorder - reasonable price too.

PROS -very good to have around, just in case I fear I’ve developed a clot -very simple to use and interpret (good diagrams right on the box). CONS -just one in the package NOTES -this is a difficult item to review, since I won’t be using it unless I’m worrying about a clot. But I’m glad to have it. MY STAR RATINGS: 1* substandard, mostly cons 2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros 3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros 4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons 5***** exceptional, all (or almost all) pros

Don’t waste your money. I ordered this test as I was concerned about ongoing symptoms following Covid. The test was positive causing huge anxiety. Off I went to the emergency GP who sent me to A&E for further tests to rule a blood clot, including a venous blood sample to test for d-dimer which came back negative. Lesson learnt…don’t order these cheap home tests on Amazon…go straight to the doctor!!

So well packaged and looks the job Problem is the lancet device to take blood is sub standard. The cover is on so tight you're unable to remove it. I destroyed it in the process. So back to traditional needle. Also no pipette in pack as described in instructions. Wirh this many problems with the kit I'm less convinced the test actually works.. wouldn't recommend

Brought this to check if I had a blood clot, still not sure so I'm going to get checked out with a blood test from my GP instead to be sure.

Two items missing so I couldn’t even do the test. £19 wasted. Would not recommend.

I tried to follow the instructions (see pic) very carefully. Spoiler alert: it doesnt work. The kit comes with: A standard cassette test (which looks like a standard pregnancy test). Pipette. Sterile lancet. alcohol wipe. Instruction book. Method: 1. Laid everything out to ensure easy testing with reliable results. 2. washed my hands thoroughly with hot water and soap. 3. Alcohol wiped my warmed finger. 4. Used finger pricker from diabetic kit rather than the lancet as previous experience shows that THAT THING takes a deep core sample rather than just drawing blood. 5. The kit states to draw up the blood with the "capillary tube" supplied. It was NOT supplied. What was supplied was a cheap dropping pipette which struggled to draw up any amount of dripping blood at all, let alone any without air bubbles. with help of grown up son (who has a degree in biomedical science & phamacological specialism) we managed to collect enough for sample needed. 6. Complete confusion as instructions show a total of 3 recesses, whilst the cassette only had 2. So used the only recess for both sample and reagent. Couldnt do anything other than use the same recess. 7. applied the reagent. 8. Tried to read results. More confusion as instructions show results window having 3 readable results, whilst the actual cassette only has 2 ("T"est and "C"ontrol). 9.Dutifully waited the 10mins. Tried to read any results at all. Seems negative? I think? Only the control line showed. Which is NOT an option reading from the instructions. THEORY: So i did some research. I looked into what D-dimer is and when is it present? Everyone should have SOME. The D-dimer test is QUANTITIVE (how much) not QUALITIVE (yes/no). I have pancreatitis caused by an inflamed gallbladder with gallstones. Lots of inflamation. D-dimer tests pick up HOW MUCH d-dimer a person has. Often, high inflamation shows up as high levels of D-dimer. It also shows when there is currently a large clot of some sort. Not that you COULD have one at some point. SUMMARY: I enjoyed spending some time, doing a thing, together with my son. CONCLUSION: The test was useless.

Keine Ahnung, hat nicht funktioniert. Ich hab mein Blut nicht in diese Pipette bekommen, hab es dann so versucht reintropfen zu lassen. War ne ziemliche Sauerei. Kostet zudem in der Apotheke 10€ weniger, auch happig. Hatte es bestellt weil ich dachte gelesen zu haben, dass es noch am selben Tag geliefert wird, war aber nicht so. Würde ich nicht nochmal bestellen.

Der größte Mist und schade ums Geld. So viel Blut, was man da braucht, kriegt man durch Fingerstechen mit Sicherheit nicht zusammen. Auch läuft das Blut nicht von alleine ins "Röhrchen". Bis das halbwegs voll ist, ist das Blut fast schon geronnen. 8 Finger blutig, Röhrchen noch immer nicht voll. Da kann man jetzt selber schätzen, obs stimmt oder nicht. 23 Euro für die Tonne

Die Pipette hat das Blut nicht aufgenommen, obwohl alles so gemacht wurde wie beschrieben. Habe dadurch zwei Tests und mein Geld verschwendet.

Alles Tipi topi

Nun... hier das Testergebnis zu bewerten ist meines Erachtens absoluter Quatsch, da man ohne ärztliche Gegenkontrolle keinerlei Aussage bezüglicher des Wahrheitsgehaltes treffen kann. Allein die sehr simpel konstruierte Stechhilfe fällt negativ auf, da es hier bessere Varianten gibt. Alles in allem muss jeder selbst wissen, inwieweit er sich allein auf das Ergebnis eines solchen Selbsttests verlassen möchte... ich für meinen Teil finde es für einen ersten Eindruck o.k., gehe aber final lieber zum Arzt, um Gewissheit zu erlangen. Ein Stern Abzug für die qualitativ schlechte Stechhilfe
