Customer Review: Good idea but not always accurate
Summary: 3 Stars
When we received this kit, we opened it up and eventually figured out how to use it. Basically, once you swab your finger with the alcohol rub, and stab it with the lancet, you then put a blood sample in each of the 4 circles. Then, you spread the blood around each circle.
After that, to analyze the results, you look to see which circles have clotted---showing a reaction with the reagents in the circle. The vendor provides a lookup table to show what to expect.
Unfortunately, after using this, the results were unclear. I believe it's rather disappointing to pay $10 for something that doesn't give clear results.
Technically, the kit isn't hard to use, and the card for the results is useful. However, I'd say donate some blood and they will tell you your blood type, free of charge.
Customer Review: Fun Times!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this because I was curious to know my blood type and it sounded like a cool way to do it yourself.
The steps are simple to read and follow, the tools used are easy to handle.
I psyched myself up and couldn't prick my finger so i had to have my sister do it for me. I think she enjoyed it a little too much. At first blood was not coming out but I pushed from the base of my finger to the tip a few times to work some blood out and plenty came. I had to do that for each test circle and it was no problem. That's the only thing they don't tell you, to massage the blood out of your finger tip.
I'd recommend this for anyone who isn't afraid of a little blood because it's easy to use and doesn't take long.
By the way I am A Positive!
Customer Review: family blood testing
Summary: 3 Stars
I am currently doing the blood type diet for myself and wanted to see what blood type the rest of the family was,so we didn't have conflict.
so i bought these , they were way more expensive then they are worth.I already knew my blood type so i was the control. yep it came out right for me
so we did the rest of the family,when they all turned out the same we got quite suspicious,does it ever come out with anything other than A+?? we wondered. I was trying to save the cost of going to the doctor's to get typed because of the cost. so now we still don't know if its right. they should include an extra set to make sure.not sure if we were satisfied on this product or not.time will tell.
Customer Review: Fast and easy to use
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this test because I've always wondered what my daughters' blood types are. My 12-year-old was willing to let me prick her finger and test her. The directions were simple, and the lancet was easy and painful just for a second. The hardest part was getting a decent sized drop of blood on the weird stick thing, but the test seemed to work even with a tiny amount of blood. As a regular blood donor myself, I should have thought to have her drink some water beforehand; maybe that would make it easier to get the blood to drip on the stick. Anyway, I gave this 4 stars for the ease of use - I'll upgrade it to 5 stars if I get clinical confirmation that it was right! :DCustomer Review: We've got a bleeder...or not
Summary: 1 Stars
Yes, I'm giving it a low review because it did not work for me, but it's not for lack of trying or ability to follow instructions. First of all, the lancing device did not work; I twisted, I pulled, I pushed- there was no needle. It must have broken off with the cap. Luckily, I have a diabetes test kit and used the lancing device from my own kit. Still, I simply could not get enough blood flowing out to do the test. Maybe I just don't bleed very well, but I usually have no problem testing for my blood-sugar level. Eldoncard's test does ask for a whole lot of blood. And a working lancing device would have been nice. In the end, it was money wasted.
