Love This & Usability Improvement Suggestions
I love that this is available as an option for patients.
To improve usability, update the following:
- If you were going to change 1 thing, please make the labels larger so people can write their name and information legibly on the urine cup and swab tubes. It states to use permanent marker, and most permanent markers have thicker felt tips than a pen would so it makes it even harder. And I can't imagine someone who has difficulty with handwriting due to tremors or poor eyesight. And also your users might be more likely to have issues with writing on labels, as for example, those with diabetes are more susceptible to recurrent infections and are also are more susceptible to poor eyesight. So your possible user groups might be more vulnerable to having difficulty with smaller labels.
- In Instructions For Use, it states that you should wash the area around the urethra with soap and water, and then dry with a clean tissue without touching the area with hands. But during cleaning with soap and water, clarify that it is OK to touch with hands at this stage to clarify.
- The vaginal swab hurt quite a bit to insert, likely due to the soap running down and inadvertently washing off any natural lubrication from the vaginal opening. Perhaps include some sort of solution here as I'm telling you, it really REALLY hurt.
- I was hesitant to use the sharpie because it was an unsanitized sharpie, and also I wanted to keep my hands as sanitized as possible. So I had to ask my partner to get me a sharpie, otherwise I would be walking out naked because I didn't want to touch my clothes yet!
- To add to the point above, perhaps add an "items needed" list at the top so that users have everything they need at the beginning like multiple clean tissues, sharpie, soap, etc. before beginning.
I think you might need a few usability testing sessions with user groups to really help resolve some potential issues, but this is my take from a sample size of 1.

Thank you for sharing such helpful, actionable feedback with us. It is our goal to make the testing process as seamless and painless as possible, and it’s clear from your experience that we have specific areas where we can improve. We specifically appreciate your suggestions regarding larger labels for better legibility and the inclusion of an 'items needed' list to help with the logistics of collection. Your comments regarding the instructions and the physical discomfort of the swab have been flagged for an internal review with our medical and design teams. We are grateful for your 'sample size of 1'—it’s insights like yours that drive our most important updates.

helped me get the right abx
I bought the sinus key test after a ten day course of amoxicillin did not help me from a sinus infection. This test pointed me to the antibiotic I needed. I also submitted a traditional culture which had non informative results. I am so glad I bought this because I had received conflicting advice from different doctors and wasn't sure what I needed! This result made it clear. If I ever have a non healing infection I would buy this again, and really its better that you get a result like this back before starting any abx at all- I wish I had bought it earlier.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed account of your experience. We are so glad the Sinus Key test was able to provide the clarity you needed after traditional cultures and initial treatments fell short. It is a common challenge that traditional cultures can be 'non-informative' after a course of antibiotics, but our DNA-based testing is designed to identify the full microbial profile regardless. We completely agree, getting these precise answers early can save so much time and frustration. We wish you a full and speedy recovery!

The best experience today!…
Today I had the pleasure of working with Marlon Gonzalez of MicroGenDx. I never expected such a wonderful experience as I received from him. He was incredibly kind, patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, thorough. and a very good listener. I can’t say enough positives! While trying to order the sinus key test, he made the whole process easy and seamless. I actually dreaded making the call because in the past, I dealt with someone who was very rude, short and offered no favorable assistance. I decided to give it another try since my Dr really wanted me to have this test done. He told me Medicare would cover this test!! Thank you MicroGenDx for hiring such a wonderful employee! He even said he hoped the test would find the answers to helping me to feel better! Who does that?!? I took his info so that in the future, I can ask for Marlon!! Oh, and before we hung up he asked if he could help me setup a patient portal!!

Found bacteria doctor's lab didn't find - Hopeful
At first I was a little frustrated because the results for both semen and urine came back as an "error". The semen still reports as negative, but the urine came back positive for bacteria that hadn't been picked up on the sample provided at the doctor's office.
The results need to include a document on how to read the results. I am able to understand the "high points" of the results, but there is other information included that isn't very clear on what exactly is being reported.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad we could provide the clarity you needed by identifying bacteria missed at the doctor's office. Negative results may occur when a sample is not viable, or there is nothing to report back. We also appreciate your feedback on our report formatting, we are always looking for ways to make our technical data easier for patients to navigate. We wish you the best in your recovery!
