The prostate health test from SelfCheck is a simple & reliable home test to measure the level of PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) in the blood.

It is an ideal test to screen at home for asymptomatic prostate disease, by measuring the blood PSA level. The test is not for monitoring existing prostate disease.

PSA is a substance made by the prostate gland. Elevated levels of PSA in the blood are linked to problems with the prostate.

An elevated level of PSA can be caused by conditions such as enlargement of the prostate gland, prostatitis, or urinary infection. It can also be an early indication of Prostate cancer.

If the PSA level on the Prostate Health Test is elevated, you need to see your doctor to discuss the result, who may then arrange further investigations or referral.

Each pack contains one single test that is performed at home. There is no need to send the test away to get the results. Results are available in 10 minutes making the test fast & reliable

The home testing pack contains everything required to complete one home test in under 10 minutes. The home test is suitable for men wishing to screen for PSA problems, while not specific for prostate cancer, elevated levels of PSA should always be investigated to exclude this disease as the cause.

The test kit is designed as a front line screen and is not suitable to monitor existing PSA levels, it is not quantative, only showing positive for levels on 10ng/ml and above, negative below this level (it does not give the precise level of PSA in ng/ml

After a break of almost 2 years Access Diagnostic Tests UK Ltd & ValueMed again offers to EU laboratory and health care screening centres, packs of 40 professional PSA test cassettes.

CE certificated, with TUV and ISO production certification the 3 line CRT test membrane for serum and or plasma.

The Rapid Test PSA test device is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the half-quantative detection of PSA in human serum or plasma to aid the diagnosis of prostate disease.

Detects 10ng/ml Human PSA and gives results in around 10 minutes.

The lack of a reliable CE certified instant test has left screening programs with the only option of laboratory analysis for the last 18 months. It is hoped the re-introduction of a near patient rapid test will see both the cost and speed of reporting benefit end users.
