HealthCheck Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test Cassette

The HealthCheck Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test Cassette is a rapid screening test designed to detect elevated levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in blood. PSA is a protein naturally produced by the prostate gland, and elevated levels may indicate prostate abnormalities that require further medical evaluation. The test provides quick results within minutes, making it a convenient tool for preliminary prostate health screening at home or in point-of-care settings.

How it works (simple explanation)

The test uses a small blood sample collected according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Through immunochromatographic lateral flow technology, the sample reacts with specialised antibodies that detect PSA. If PSA is present above the test’s detection threshold, a coloured test line appears alongside the control line, indicating a reactive result. The control line confirms that the test has functioned correctly.

What it’s useful for

• Preliminary screening for elevated PSA levels

• Supporting prostate health monitoring

• Encouraging early medical evaluation of prostate abnormalities

• Prompting timely follow-up testing where necessary

• Suitable for home or point-of-care screening (where appropriate)

Prostate disease often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Detecting elevated PSA levels early can prompt further medical assessment before conditions progress. While an elevated PSA does not diagnose prostate cancer, it may be associated with prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate), or other prostate conditions. Early investigation can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment, improving outcomes and helping reduce the risk of complications associated with advanced prostate disease.

Easy to use

• Collect the blood sample as instructed in the product leaflet.

• Apply the required amount of sample and buffer to the test cassette.

• Wait for the recommended development time.

• Read the result within the specified interpretation window.

• Follow all instructions carefully to ensure accurate results.

Key features

• Rapid PSA screening test

• Simple cassette format

• Quick results within minutes

• Easy-to-use procedure

• Suitable for home or point-of-care screening

• Individually packaged for single use

Who it’s for

• Men aged 50 years and older who wish to monitor their prostate health

• Men aged 45 years and older with a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors

• Men experiencing urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, difficulty urinating, or getting up frequently at night to urinate

• Individuals advised by their healthcare provider to monitor PSA levels

Important to note

A positive (reactive) PSA result does not confirm prostate cancer, and a negative result does not completely exclude prostate disease. PSA levels can be elevated for several non-cancerous reasons, including benign prostate enlargement, prostatitis, urinary tract infections, recent ejaculation, cycling, or recent prostate examination. Any abnormal result should be followed by evaluation from a qualified healthcare professional, who may recommend laboratory PSA testing, digital rectal examination (DRE), imaging, or other investigations. Men experiencing persistent urinary symptoms, blood in the urine or semen, unexplained bone pain, or unintended weight loss should seek prompt medical attention regardless of the test result.

Why it stands out

The HealthCheck PSA Test Cassette provides a fast and convenient way to screen for elevated PSA levels, encouraging men to take a proactive approach to prostate health. By helping identify individuals who may require further medical evaluation, it supports earlier detection of prostate abnormalities, timely diagnosis, and intervention before prostate disease progresses to more advanced stages where treatment may be more complex and outcomes less favourable.
