Rapid Diagnostic Test Kits

Our rapid diagnostic test kits are in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices intended for self-testing. They:

  • Are CE/UKCA marked for self-testing where applicable
  • Are not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis
  • Can give false positive and false negative results
  • Should be used in line with the instructions for use supplied with the kit

Laboratory Testing Services

Our laboratory testing services:

  • Provide health markers and indicators only
  • Do not constitute medical diagnosis
  • Should be interpreted with a qualified healthcare professional
  • Should not be used as the sole basis for medical decisions

Testing is carried out by independent laboratories accredited by UKAS. Newfoundland Diagnostics Ltd facilitates access to these services and is not a clinical service provider. Results are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute a medical diagnosis. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any medical or lifestyle decisions based on your results.

Accuracy

  • No test is 100% accurate
  • Results can be affected by sample quality, timing, medications, and individual variation

Clinical

  • Results indicate probability, not certainty
  • A negative result does not rule out a condition
  • A positive result should be confirmed by a healthcare professional
  • Testing too soon after possible exposure to an infection may not detect it
