§ 4 Submission
4.1. After conclusion of the contract, the consumer receives a submission sheet as a PDF by e-mail for self-printing, on which information about the person, previous or parallel tests and the type of test purchased must be provided. No physical products such as test kits or similar are shipped to consumers for sustainability reasons. The EU consumer sends this submission form together with his sample material to Medicross in Germany to the following address:
Medicross
Heuriedweg 20
88131 Lindau (Bodensee)
Germany/Germany
Consumers from Switzerland and Liechtenstein and outside the EU to the following address:
Medicross
Herrengasse 30
9490 Vaduz
Liechtenstein
4.2. The effort as well as the costs around the shipment of the sample material to Medicross are borne by the consumer.
4.3. We recommend sending the sample material by registered mail to ensure tracking via a tracking number. If a speedy delivery by the shipping service provider is important to you, we recommend sending the sample by express.
4.4. When analyzing hair samples and interpreting the results, many special features must be taken into account compared to the analysis of other biological materials, due to the type (solid) and heterogeneity of the matrix, stability of analytes and possible influences during sample preparation. As the collection of a hair sample is non-invasive, it does not need to be taken by a doctor or healthcare professional.
4.5. The sample must be clearly and completely labeled.
4.6. If possible, the hair samples should be taken from the occipital protuberance and directly from the scalp in a suitable quantity, preferably from a strand of hair.
4.7. Ideally, the strand of hair should be secured with a thread before cutting to prevent the segments from shifting.
4.8. Alternatively, body hair (such as armpit, beard, pubic or chest hair) can also be removed.
4.9. A suitable form must be chosen for storage and shipping, such as filter paper as the primary packaging material in an envelope.
4.10. Hair samples must be properly transported at normal room temperature, dry and protected from light, and stored before or after testing. Cooling or freezing should be avoided to protect the material from moisture. Moisture and crystal formation can lead to decomposition of analytes and matrix.
§ 5 Test execution

The procedures, methods or device models used by Medicross belong to the field of complementary directions. Within the special therapy directions, our measurement procedure is recognized as a proven diagnostic method.

The measurement procedure on which the test is based is not subject to complete reproducibility and is not recognized or certified by conventional medical authorities.
