Expiry Date on Home Test

[Sparklingsunshine]

Hi

I got sent a replacement test in April due to my blood sample not filling the tube. I've just had an NHS thyroid test so don't need to use this one yet. Does anyone have any idea how long it's good for or where to find the expiry date please. Its a Monitor My Health one.

Usually on the tube itself

The expiry date can be found on the box as well as on the tube. I asked MMH if they have a time limit on using the test and they told me you have until the expiry date, so if your date is, say, 31st November then make sure it arrives at their lab before that date.

Hi

As it was a replacement test there was no box this time. Just a plastic envelope with all the contents.

Hi Sparklingsunshine,

As others have said you can find the expiry date on the side of the blood tube.

I've had home blood test kits that have expired from two different companies, Thriva and MMH. This was due to a number of personal reasons and no fault of either Thriva or MMH.

When I asked if they could replace the kits both sent out new kits free of charge and without hesitation which was a big relief as I couldn't really afford to pay out again.

Best wishes.

Hi

I've just found it hidden under the sticker on the test tube. It runs out in September this year. Not that long really.
