研究发现许多联合王国卫生自检包不准确,缺乏指导,催促要求更严格的条例。 Study finds many UK health self-test kits inaccurate, lacking guidance, spurring calls for tougher regulations.

《英国医学杂志》最近的一项研究表明,在联合王国商店出售的许多健康自我检测包不准确,在使用和下一步措施方面缺乏明确的指导。 A recent study in the British Medical Journal revealed that many health self-test kits sold in UK shops are inaccurate and lack clear guidance on use and next steps. 来自伯明翰大学的研究人员根据各种条件分析了30个自我测试工具包,发现只有一半提供了准确性信息,不到四分之一提供了明确的测试后建议。 Researchers from the University of Birmingham analyzed 30 self-test kits for various conditions and found that only half provided information on accuracy, and fewer than a quarter offered clear post-test advice. 该研究将这些测试的60%归类为高风险,促使制造商要求更严格监管和提高透明度。 The study classified 60% of these tests as high risk, prompting calls for stricter regulation and transparency from manufacturers. 联合王国的医疗设备监管机构MHRA计划对这些自我测试包的安全标准进行彻底修订。 The UK's medical devices regulator, MHRA, plans to overhaul safety standards for these self-testing kits.
