This at-home screening kit uses a finger-prick blood sample to check prostate-specific antigen (PSA). PSA is a prostate-related protein in blood. Its interpretation depends on age, symptoms and context; a home screen alone should not drive treatment decisions. The result is intended to help you decide whether further clinical advice is needed; it is not a diagnosis on its own.

For adults with a prostate who want to discuss prostate health, particularly if they have urinary concerns or a family history. This is an initial PSA screen for adults with a prostate who want to discuss prostate health, especially with urinary symptoms or a family history. The decision to test should consider possible false positives and false negatives. A clinician can advise if your symptoms are persistent, severe or outside the purpose of this home screen.

The manufacturer lists Test cassette, Buffer solution, Lancet (x2), Alcohol wipe, Capillary dropper, and Instructions for use. Check the actual pack contents and expiry date before starting. You will need a timer and may need other materials as stated in the enclosed leaflet; components and packaging should be checked against that leaflet.

Read the enclosed instructions before opening the device. Collect a finger-prick blood sample with the lancet and capillary dropper. Add sample and buffer to the cassette as instructed; read after 5 minutes. Use only the sample type and amounts specified for this particular kit, keep the work area clean and do not reuse any single-use component. The step-by-step product tab summarises the process.

Newfoundland states results in about 5 minutes. Start timing when the sample is applied or the device is activated, as the leaflet directs. Read only in the stated window: interpreting too soon or after the cut-off may give a misleading result. Check the control or validity guide first.

Read at the kit’s stated 5-minute time using the cassette’s control and test-line diagram. A raised PSA indication needs GP interpretation and, if appropriate, laboratory confirmation. PSA may rise with benign enlargement, inflammation or other factors; a normal result does not rule out prostate cancer. See a clinician for persistent urinary symptoms regardless of the result. Follow the leaflet’s exact result illustration, as positive and negative patterns are not the same for every self-test.

The product is advertised as over 92% for its intended use. This does not mean every individual result is certain: sample collection, timing, storage, expiry and how early a condition is tested can all affect performance. Follow the enclosed instructions and seek professional assessment when symptoms or risk remain.

A negative home result does not rule out every cause of your symptoms or concern. If the kit’s required control is absent, the colour comparison is unclear or the test was read outside its window, do not rely on it: repeat with a new kit as directed. Ask a clinician about ongoing symptoms or an unexpected result.

Yes. PSA can rise with benign prostate enlargement, inflammation, infection and other factors, and it also changes with age. A raised home indication needs a GP discussion and appropriate laboratory follow-up, not a self-diagnosis. A normal result does not exclude prostate disease.

Symptoms such as difficulty passing urine, frequent urination or blood in urine need medical assessment regardless of a home PSA result. A GP can discuss the benefits and limitations of PSA testing and decide which examination or tests are appropriate for your circumstances.
