Medical Tests (ID 505293)
The Medical Tests category belongs to the Health & Beauty > Health Care hierarchy. Use this category for diagnostic kits, panels, and equipment intended for self-testing or professional diagnostic screening.
This category includes a wide range of diagnostic tools, including examples from the US market such as:
- At-home health panels for vitamins, inflammation, or thyroid hormone analysis.
- Rapid diagnostic dipstick tests for streptococcal infections or respiratory viruses.
- Multi-drug screening cups and fecal occult blood tests for routine checks.
- Specialized at-home kits for food sensitivities or sexual health screenings.
- Urinalysis kits designed for detecting urinary tract infections.
Items that do not fit in this category should be directed to the appropriate neighboring categories. For instance, do not list medical hardware like blood pressure monitors or pulse oximeters here; those belong in Biometric Monitors. If you are selling basic first aid supplies, bandages, or antiseptic wipes, use the First Aid category. Pillboxes, hearing aids, and mobility scooters also have their own specific sections and should not be miscategorized under Medical Tests.
Always choose the most specific subcategory if your product fits one, such as Pregnancy Tests, Drug Tests, HIV Tests, Blood Typing Test Kits, Allergy Test Kits, or Urinary Tract Infection Tests.
To categorize your items, use either the ID 505293 or the full path string: Health & Beauty > Health Care > Medical Tests. Providing this classification ensures Google applies the correct policies, though it remains optional if your own product_type data is sufficient.
