General preparation notes for 6 tests in this package
This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator: the test passes a weak electric current through the body and has traditionally not been recommended with these devices.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested, so the test is often done in the morning.
Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested.

Usually needs at least 8 hours without food or drink except water beforehand.
Mention when booking: If you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting, and mention it to the center.
Usually needs a clean-catch (midstream) sample; some tests instead ask you to collect all urine passed over 24 hours.
Mention when booking: Ask which specific urine test your provider ordered, since collection instructions vary by test.
Usually needs no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
