General information is not medical advice
The information on this Website is for your general information only. The Content of this Website is not intended, in any case whatsoever, to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and cannot replace them in any way. Each case bears its own particularities. Always seek the advice of a physician, or other qualified healthcare practitioner properly licensed to practise medicine or general healthcare in your jurisdiction, concerning any questions you may have regarding any information obtained from this Website and any medical condition you believe may be relevant to you or someone else. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking a medical consultation because of something you have read on this Website. Only a health professional can confirm that an information contained on this Website can apply to your own situation. Always seek the advice of your physician or other healthcare practitioner before starting any new treatment, diet or exercise program. Information obtained by using this website is not exhaustive and does not cover all diseases, ailments, physical conditions or their treatments. Be advised that the human body pictures contained on this Website do not represent anatomical charts certified by health professionals, as they only are simplified images being used as a reference only, to provide you with a friendly use of this Website. We recommend to refer to reliable sources for more complete information and to consult your physician or another health professional for any particular question you may have in relation to your health condition.
We send the results of tests you requested to you, so you can share them with the healthcare practitioner who prescribed them. We strongly believe our clients should have as much health-related information as possible, so they can manage their health independently. The results you view when you log into the password-protected area of the site are simply data, provided for informational purposes only. We do not give (even implicit) opinions or diagnoses that are or could be based on those results. Only a qualified healthcare practitioner can interpret your test results and take into consideration your medical data, as well as other particular factors of which the practitioner is aware. The benchmarks we provide for certain outcomes are aligned with relevant practice standards. These benchmarks are the reference limits for the results observed in 95% (or 99%, in rare cases) of normal patients who have no disease or condition that could affect the test which produced these results. In other words, one out of twenty normal patients will get results slightly outside the benchmark. Some test results are strictly qualitative (positive, negative, trace, etc.) and do not have a numerical benchmark. No conclusion whatsoever may be drawn from your positioning within these benchmarks. Only your treating physician can interpret this positioning. You are responsible for discussing your results with the practitioner who prescribed the tests and making any decisions that you deem appropriate.
After you log in to the password-protected area of the Website, the results of the tests you requested are available in different formats: a PDF report and a table in our Results Portal. If there should be a discrepancy in one or more results for the same test, done on the same date, between the PDF report and the Results Portal, the results in the PDF report always take precedence. The values in the PDF report are also the ones that are sent to the healthcare practitioner who prescribed the tests.
