SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test Kit

SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test Kit - Finger-prick blood test - Results in 10 minutes - Test at home - Shows if the level of PSA is higher than normal - 87% agreement with laboratory tests - Assembled in the UK The SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test is a simple way for men to find out whether the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in your blood is elevated. Although PSA is regarded as a marker for prostate cancer, a high PSA level is more likely to be due to other problems such as prostatitis, an enlarged prostate or a urine infection. Before you decide to have a PSA test, it is important to be aware that about 3 in 4 men with a raised PSA level will not have cancer and around 1 in 7 men with a normal PSA level will have prostate cancer. Nevertheless, if you have an elevated result, you are encouraged to speak with your doctor. See the pros and cons of PSA testing below. The SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test (PSA Test), is an easy to use finger prick blood spot home test that detects raised levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) associated with abnormalities of the prostate gland. Health issues related to the prostate gland become more common as men get older. To use your SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test, you will need to use one of the single-use finger prickers supplied to obtain a blood sample, and apply to the lateral flow test cassette. One line on the test cassette results window means a negative result, and two lines means a positive result. - Results in 10 minutes - Over 87% agreement with laboratory PSA tests* - Contains 1 test - Ensure you are aware of the pros and cons of PSA testing before you decide to test. Pros: - it may reassure you if the test result is normal - it can find early signs of cancer, meaning you can get treated early - PSA testing may reduce your risk of dying if you do have cancer Cons: - it can miss some cancers and provide false reassurance - it may lead to unnecessary worry and medical tests if there's no cancer - it cannot tell the difference between slow-growing and fast-growing cancers - it may make you worry by finding a slow-growing cancer that may never cause any problems - In the UK, men over 50 years without symptoms, can request a PSA test from their doctor.

Suresign Vitamin D Deficiency Test

Suresign Vitamin D Deficiency Test

Suresign Vitamin D Deficiency Test The Suresign Vitamin D Test detects low levels of vitamin D in human fingerstick blood to aid in the screening for Vitamin D deficiency. Simple finger prick test Lancet included Colour reference card for accurate reading Results in 10 minutes Staying on top of your vitamins Vitamins play a crucial role in maintaining various bodily functions, so deficiencies can lead to a host of health issues, from dry eyes and fatigue to joint pain and impaired cognitive function. This is why it’s essential for individuals to have easy access to self-test kits that allow them to monitor their vitamin levels, so that appropriate action can be taken should a deficiency be detected. At-home vitamin deficiency test kits offer exceptional convenience and efficiency, enabling individuals to monitor their health at a time and place that suits their needs. Vitamin D Deficiency When the winter months approach in the northern hemisphere, fewer hours of daylight are inevitable, leaving many people struggling with a common yet often underestimated health problem: vitamin D deficiency. Due to the lack of sunshine in a country that is hardly renowned for its weather, it is estimated that more than one-quarter of people in the UK suffer from a deficiency in vitamin D in winter, leading to a range of potential consequences including weakened bones, mood changes, and a reduced immune system. How to Accurately Finger-Prick Yourself for Vitamin Deficiency Checking for a vitamin deficiency at home, for example using a vitamin D test, is a simple, painless, and convenient process. However, it’s not uncommon for individuals to feel apprehensive, especially if they are testing for the first time, as they may be concerned about making a mistake or even injuring themselves. Fortunately, once you’ve mastered the technique, your confidence will soar, and conducting vitamin deficiency tests at home will quickly become second nature. So, what steps should you take to ensure an at-home vitamin deficiency test is carried out accurately and safely? Gather the necessary supplies Before you commence the test, ensure you have all the necessary items close at hand. Typically, this will include the test kit, a sterile lancet, an alcohol swab, and any other materials specified in the kit’s instructions. Using the timer function on your phone to time results as well as having everything within reach simplifies the process and reduces any potential stress or confusion. Follow the time guidelines Adherence to time guidelines is crucial to obtain accurate results. Each Suresign test kit will have specific instructions on how long to wait before applying the blood sample to the test card or strip. It’s important not to rush this process. Collect the blood sample as instructed and apply it to the test medium within the recommended timeframe to ensure the integrity of the sample and the accuracy of the test results. Use a sterile lancet The key to a successful finger-prick test is to use the sterile lancet provided in the kit which is designed to make a tiny cut on the side of your fingertip to obtain a blood sample. The side of the fingertip is recommended as it’s less sensitive compared to the fingertip pad, so it is less likely to be painful, even for a moment. Follow the instructions carefully to minimise discomfort and ensure you collect an adequate blood sample for the test to avoid having to repeat the test with a different finger. Prepare the testing site Select a clean, well-lit area in which to perform the test. A kitchen table or a desk in a well-lit room can be ideal. Ensure the surface is clean and flat to set up your testing materials. Wash your hands with warm water to increase blood flow to your fingers, making the blood sample collection easier.

SELFCHECK Thyroid (TSH) Test Kit

SELFCHECK Thyroid (TSH) Test Kit

SELFCHECK Thyroid (TSH) Test Kit - Finger-prick blood test - Results in 10 minutes - 98% agreement with laboratory tests - Test at home - Shows if your TSH level is higher than normal - Assembled in the UK The SELFCHECK Thyroid Health test kit is easy to use and will show in minutes whether or not you are likely to have an under active thyroid. Thyroid disorders are one of the most prevalent medical conditions in the world particularly for women, with an increasing number suffering from an under active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). The symptoms of an under active thyroid include feeling tired, weight gain, dry skin, brittle hair, feeling depressed and becoming forgetful. Some people with an under active thyroid also suffer from constipation and women may have irregular periods. Thyroid stimulating hormone, also known as TSH, is secreted from the pituitary gland and regulates the function of the thyroid. A higher than normal TSH level can be an indicator of an under active thyroid gland and this is why doctors will often request a measurement of your blood TSH levels. TSH is one of several thyroid markers used by doctors to confirm an underactive thyroid gland. TSH test results The TSH test shows whether your TSH levels are normal or too high. - A TSH level less than 5mIU/L indicates normal TSH levels and your symptoms are unlikely to be due to an underactive thyroid - A TSH level more than 5mIU/L indicates that your TSH level is high and you may have an under active thyroid. You should speak with your doctor for further tests How accurate is the test? This test has been used for over 10 years by healthcare professionals in hospital laboratories, and shows an overall agreement of more than 98% when compared with laboratory reference methods. How does the test work? A finger prick blood spot is required and is obtained by using the sterile automatic finger pricker provided with the test kit. The test takes 10 minutes to complete when your result will be displayed on the test cassette as less than or greater than the cut-off of 5mIU/L of TSH. What does the result tell me? The test shows whether you could be suffering from an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism). If you have a positive result speak to your doctor who can arrange for further thyroid function tests to identify the reason for your under active thyroid. Contains 1 test.

Suresign Iron Deficiency Ferritin Test

Suresign Iron Deficiency Ferritin Test

Suresign Iron Deficiency Ferritin Test Accurate iron deficiency test results in minutes. The Suresign Iron Deficiency Ferritin Test works by measuring the concentration of ferritin in human fingerstick blood, enabling you to see whether you’re at risk of an iron deficiency. Simple finger prick test Contains Lancet Convenient lateral flow cassette test Results in 5 minutes Signs of Ferritin Deficiency Iron – a vital component of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body – plays a critical role in sustaining human health. When iron levels are low, the body can’t produce sufficient healthy red blood cells which leads to a deficiency in ferritin, a protein that contains iron. An iron deficiency can cause a range of symptoms and, if left untreated, will lead to anaemia which can affect overall health and wellbeing. In this article, we’ll outline some common symptoms of ferritin deficiency to help you to recognise the signs in your customers. Pale skin and conjunctiva One of the most noticeable signs of low iron levels is a change in the colour of the skin and conjunctiva (the inner lining of the eyelids). If a customer has noticeably paler skin than usual, especially in the face, it could be a symptom of ferritin deficiency. The paleness results from reduced haemoglobin in the blood, which normally gives skin its rosy hue. Headaches and dizziness Frequent headaches and a sensation of dizziness or light-headedness can be associated with low ferritin levels. These symptoms occur because of the reduced oxygen supply to the brain due to insufficient haemoglobin. Additionally, people with iron deficiency may experience cold hands and feet due to poor circulation which is a direct consequence of reduced oxygen flow. Craving for non-food substances (pica) Pica, an unusual craving for non-food substances, such as ice, clay, or dirt, is another symptom linked to iron deficiency. While the exact cause of pica is unclear, it is thought to be the body’s way of seeking alternative sources of iron or other minerals. Shortness of breath A customer who is experiencing a shortness of breath or difficulty catching their breath, particularly during physical activities, may be suffering from iron deficiency. Since iron is crucial for oxygen transport in the body, low levels mean the muscles and tissues aren’t receiving a sufficient supply, which leads to fatigue and breathlessness. The importance of iron deficiency testing It goes without saying that these symptoms may be a sign of an iron deficiency but could also be the result of other health conditions, so making an assumption without proper iron testing is inappropriate. Fortunately, determining if a customer has an iron deficiency is straightforward with our easy-to-use home test kits. Early detection is key to effectively managing and treating ferritin deficiency, so stocking our test kits in your pharmacy gives customers greater control over their own health and management. Tips for successful finger prick blood tests include: · Avoiding the thumb or index finger, as the test is more likely to be painful. · Warming the finger first to improve circulation. · Placing the device against the side of the finger rather than the top. · Allowing the blood to drip naturally from the finger rather than attempting to squeeze it out, as excess pressure can burst the red blood cells and produce an inaccurate result. · Check the colour card provided to interpret your results.
