I had trouble with the lancet I had trouble with the lancet - the spring was nicely gentle, but maybe almost too gentle. I had to use a second lancet on a different finger to get a decent puncture for the blood to flow.

Disappointed The test was a little pricey but I loved the fact I could just return my sample in my mail box. My biggest disappointment was that my test was inconclusive, there was enough blood just one of my markers was a little elevated so I didn’t learn a thing from the test and wasted $80

Result unreliable RA kit was easy enough to perform, and I received results in a timely manner. However, I had same lab work done in an outside lab to confirm, a few days after receiving my result and it was completely different. Imaware results showed I had a high level of level of Anti-CCP antibodies, however results from LabCorp showed essentially none.

Their self test kits are terrible Their self test kits are terrible. If you have calloused fingers it's practically impossible to use, and you apparently need about 20x more blood than they claim you need.

Would not use this service again First, a big shout out to Claire, who executes her job in a very professional, friendly manner, She deserves commended! As far as Imaware as a company and its product, I am less than impressed. The method of puncturing the skin did not work for me. Even with Claire being kind enough to send extra puncture triggers and two replacement tests, none worked and I had to break a trigger apart with pliers and use the metal point inside to hand-puncture myself. Also, kits that require "fasting" should have a big sticker on the box top, rather than that important requirement be buried in the text about how to do the test. Further, no phone number can be found to contact the company and even emails refer one to the imaware chat on the website for response. There is no way that I could find to actually call from my side and talk with an actual person, Only through chat. Unfortunately, while the imaware at-home blood draw is a good idea, I cannot recommend its use.
