Easy@Home 10 Individual Pouch Urinary Tract Infection FSA Eligible Test Strips, UTI Urine Testing Kit for Urinalysis and Detection of Leukocytes and Nitrites- (UTI-10P)

I get UTIs often. I worry and sometimes think I'm getting one when I am not. I wanted to be able to test myself. There are 10 test strips in the box, which is a good value.This product gave you two options, collect and dip or hold directly into the stream. The test strips are individually wrapped and the result comparison printed on the wrapper which means the strips don't have to stay with the box or another paper. My practice test came out clean which is what I was expecting. I'll get back when I can confirm a positive test. (Hopefully, never again!)

I have used the Easy @ Home UTI Infection Test a few times before and have found that it matched the same-day doctor office lab test whether positive or negative 2 of the times. This is unlike the AZO test which more than once has not matched the official lab test at all. Especially considering the cost per strip, I will stick with the Easy @ Home from now on. The only negative is that the box arrived smashed and ripped coming from the seller I purchased from.

I have a positive and negative experience with these...Experience: I bought these UTI test strips to have on-hand after an accidentally untreated UTI caused me to be hospitalized for eight days with the diagnosis of kidney infection and acute kidney failure. I didn’t realize I even had a UTI, I thought my back pain was due to me having a lower herniated disc. One day I started experiencing urinary symptoms and went to Urgent Care; where I was given antibiotics. The next day I was in the hospital despite starting antibiotics the day before. I had gotten too sick and now had a full on kidney infection AND was in the beginning stages of kidney failure. I decided after that incident that I’d like to have some tests at home so that I can differentiate the two pains.My positives about this product:- They’re nice to have on-hand to test your urine.- Given that COVID-19 has opened up virtual treatment, having this product at home allowed me to expedite my “virtual care” when I recently had to seek help for a UTI. I tested my urine and was able to show the doctor the results through FaceTime. I got my antibiotics called in, and I didn’t even have to go to a local lab to take the exact same test.- The tests tear open and you don’t need scissors.- Options of using the test as a dipstick or directly from stream.My negatives about this product:- I ordered this product on July 9th and received it three days later. The specific pack of tests I ordered from easy@Home has 10 individually wrapped tests. My test strips expire on 10/28/2020. That gives me 109 days to use 10 test strips. The average person may only take 1-2 of these test strips a year (at their doctors office). The expiration date is just far too soon for the type of product at hand. I may use them all because I have a deeply ingrained fear of having a UTI and not knowing it, so I test my urine frequently; however, I’d hate for someone to buy this product only to have their product expire shortly there after.- The package directions seem confusing. Leukocytes are on top, nitrates are on the bottom. The nitrates test comes in first after 60 seconds, and the leukocytes come in second after 120 seconds. Seems like they would put them on the card in the order in which the test results show.- I’ve had one card that didn’t show anything, didn’t change at all. Maybe a defective card, maybe not.

I get a lot of UTIs. I’ve had a few “false positives” when it comes to UTIs. I appreciate these tests for giving me some guidance before I rush over to Urgent Care.

Purchased these for my elderly mother and haven’t used them yet but disappointed they expire in only 5 months
