Evidence & Testimonials

Peezy Midstream is a welcome innovation with clinicians and health leaders alike. Here you can read a variety of testimonials from a cross section of medical opinion formers and commentators.

We have used Peezy Midstream with patients in clinic. Comparison with historical specimen results show that it collects a better specimen with lower contamination, which means fewer repeats. Patients are happy with the hygiene because urine goes into the tube and not on their hands. The lab is happy to receive a proper MSU in a clean tube that fits their analysers. The system delivers accuracy, efficiency and hygiene for all parties; I would like to see it used routinely across the NHS

Peezy Midstream is one of those valuable, simple, low cost and no-brainer innovations that I’m always amazed don’t get adopted faster and more widely.

Professor James BarlowProfessor of Technology and Innovation Management

Urine samples are used to diagnose a broad variety of conditions and to be able to deliver an accurate diagnosis it is vital that the samples are not contaminated. Research strongly indicates that using the Peezy Midstream specimen collection device can dramatically reduce the contamination rate, thus leading to more accurate readings and reducing the need for repeat tests. This will undoubtedly have a significant time and cost savings for the NHS and must surely be a sensible innovation to adopt.

Louise de WinterCEO, The Urology Foundation

Health and safety in any medicine is of vital importance to those who work on the frontline and the collection of urine samples is a daily necessity for many. The adoption of innovative solutions, such the Peezy Midstream, allows a safe and hygienic alternative to more traditional methods, improving not just the experience of our members but also enhances the dignity of the patients they serve.

As you know I am a considerable supporter of the Peezy and we have had good results in pre-op, moving out now to antenatal. I also use Peezy for complex patients who may genuinely have mixtures when it is important to be confident that contamination is not likely to be an issue.

Rubbish in, rubbish out. If you don’t make the effort to collect the specimen properly, all the clever stuff you do in the lab later, won’t work.

Dr Mark WilksMicrobiology Manager, Barts NHS Trust

Reduction in laboratory defined contamination has been shown and there is potential for use of Peezy in collecting all future Obstetric MSUs.

Excruciating, terrifying and serious. This is how women describe a common adult bacterial infection - a #UTI. Using the #PeezyMidstream is that crucial step in getting a sample that is up to 100% accurate for testing. pic.twitter.com/ZvOvZJvIOA

So it took a pandemic to get everyone to wash their hands regularly. When producing a #urine sample it's the first and last steps to a clean catch sample. Using a #PeezyMidstream means the sample is far less contaminated than using a container - cleaner on the hands too! pic.twitter.com/JoS6KtxL4W
