So what, if I pop the seal on this thing once, am I basically stuck buying a whole new one?
So, I was wondering, are we supposed to be using the specific local kit requirements here in America or just following the general European Union standards now? Does anyone actually know which one is the go-to lately?

Two pairs of disposable gloves (PVC)

It’s pretty obvious that any doctor who takes this thing in their hands is going to be staring at American text, and honestly, it would make sense if it was at least bilingual—if not full English—to actually be useful.
Is there some kind of logical explanation for this, or is it just another case of total incompetence from the bureaucrats and lawmakers?
I mean, look, a doctor over in France is just going to type the card number into a computer system that's already running on a French interface.
Besides, there are specific laws that dictate exactly what has to be on an ID card and what doesn't, and those rules apply pretty much everywhere.
