3. Blood Test Services

The blood testing service offered by CJA Balance comprises:

(a) Delivery of a blood sample test kit by an external third party test kit supplier;
(b) Blood testing which is carried out by a third party laboratory
(c) Preparation of a report containing the blood test results and comments from CJA Balance doctors on any results that are out of the expected range, based on the British Society of Sexual Medicine (BSSM) Guidelines. You will receive a copy of this report by email.

The blood testing is carried out by a laboratory engaged by us. We reserve the right to change the laboratory from time to time without notice. CJA Balance pay the laboratory directly for the blood testing services on your behalf.

By purchasing a blood test from CJA Balance, you are entering into a contract with CJA Balance to provide you with the blood testing services that you have requested.

The default blood sample test kit is a home finger-prick kit, which allows you to take your own blood sample at home, using the lancets and blood sample collection tubes provided. Instructions are included with the kit, and we will also send you a confirmation email with instructions. If you unsure how to perform the finger-prick test, please contact us on 020 3893 2685
or [email protected]  before attempting the test, so that we can advise you.

If you are not successful in obtaining a viable finger prick sample (between 5-10% of finger-prick tests are unsuccessful), or if your sample is clotted or haemolysed when it arrives at our laboratory and therefore cannot be analysed, we will offer you one of the following:

(a) We can send out another finger-prick test kit free of charge. However, if you have followed the instructions correctly but the test has failed because you have had difficulty in getting sufficient blood flow to obtain a successful finger prick sample,a second finger-prick test may have the same result.  If the second test fails, there will be a charge for any subsequent test kits that are sent out. Please contact us to discuss further options if this is the case.

(b) We can send out a venous test kit free of charge, which you can use to have a blood sample taken at a phlebotomist service of your choice (at your expense). 

Custom Blood Tests are those that were not part of your original order, or a combination of blood tests which is not listed and sold as a test on our website. Custom Blood Tests are a service which CJA Balance may offer, for which the price will vary depending on the combination of tests requested.  Sometimes, it is not possible to obtain a final price and arrange payment before all the tests have been processed by the labs, in which case you may be sent a final invoice to cover the cost of any additional tests or services which we have provided for you under the contract. We will endeavour to ensure that the price is reasonable, and competitive with similar services in the marketplace.

We will endeavour to ensure that the the laboratory used by CJA Balance performs the blood testing services required with the best skill, care and diligence in accordance with best practice in their profession.
