1. Any sample you send (whether it is blood, tissue, bodily fluid, or other biological sample) to one of our laboratories for analysis will be analysed only in relation to the test or tests that you have ordered.
2. Certain tests require you to fast for a minimum period prior to collecting a sample, refrain from consuming alcohol beforehand, take your sample at a certain time of day, or prepare in other specified ways. We will provide you with clear instructions if you order a test with special sample requirements and it is imperative that you follow these instructions carefully to ensure reliable test results. If you do not follow these instructions, Field Medical will not be responsible for any impact to your results.
3. Our tests require a venous blood sample to be taken by a qualified phlebotomist. When ordering these tests, you will be given the instructions for arranging a home phlebotomy appointment.
4. Home phlebotomy visits, once confirmed to you, cannot be cancelled without incurring a charge. They may be rearranged with sufficient notice - at least 48 hours before a visit is due to commence. Please ensure you are at home at the agreed time or you will be liable for cancellation charges and/or further costs to rebook your visit. The home phlebotomist service will contact you within 48 working hours of your order being processed and will aim to provide an appointment within 5 Working days. We cannot guarantee that we will always meet this timeframe. Due to phlebotomist availability within your area, accommodating your sample instructions (e.g. test must be taken in the morning), and meeting your availability it may only be possible to give you an appointment time which is beyond 5 Working days.
5. Occasionally the laboratories are unable to test samples sent to them. This may be because the amount collected is insufficient for full analysis, the sample has deteriorated or clotted or because it has haemolysed (where red blood cells damaged during sample collection leak their contents into the surrounding plasma). If the laboratory cannot test your sample, we will arrange for a repeat test  free-of-charge or offer you a refund either full or partial depending on test results affected. 
6. Occasionally we maybe unable to obtain a sample (no visible veins for phlebotomy).If we are unable to obtain your blood sample, we will arrange for a repeat visit free-of-charge or offer you a refund either full or partial depending on test results affected. 
7. Every test on our website has a corresponding turnaround time which is an estimate of the time it will take for your sample, once received by the laboratory, to be tested and the test results made available to you by email. It is an estimate only and is stated in Working Days. It is not binding on us and we do not guarantee that test results will be available in the published Turnaround Time. If you purchase multiple tests in one order we may, in certain circumstances, make results available to you only when the results of all tests have been received from the laboratory. The longest Turnaround Time for all of the tests ordered will apply in this case.
