SELFCheck Prostate Health Single Test – Quick, Private PSA Screening

Take charge of your prostate health with the SELFCheck Prostate Health Single Test, a CE-certified, rapid immunodiagnostic test that detects elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, which may indicate prostate issues like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, or prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men over 50, with an average diagnosis age over 70. This easy-to-use home test, recommended for men over 40, delivers results in just 10 minutes using a finger-prick blood sample, offering a convenient first step to monitor your health privately.

The kit includes 1 test cassette (in a sealed foil pouch with a dropper and desiccant), 1 buffer solution bottle (1ml), 1 single-use lancet, 1 alcohol swab, and an instruction leaflet (requires a clean tissue and timer, not included). With over 87% agreement with laboratory PSA tests, it uses hospital-grade components, assembled in the UK under ISO13485 standards. A positive result (two lines, PSA ≥ 4.0ng/ml) indicates elevated PSA, prompting a doctor’s consultation for further tests like MRI or biopsy. A negative result (one line) suggests normal PSA, but persistent symptoms require medical advice.

Why is this test important?

• PSA is a substance made by the prostate gland, which naturally leaks into the bloodstream.
• A raised PSA level can be due to conditions such as enlargement of the prostate gland, prostatitis or urinary infection. It can also be an early indicator of prostate cancer
• Each year, around 32,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK. In Ireland, prostate cancer is the leading type of cancer, with 80% diagnosed individuals being over the age of 65 (source: Cancer Research)
• Prostate cancer is rare in men below 50 years of age and the average age of diagnosis is 75 years.
• This test can provide indication of a pre-clinical condition before any symptoms develop
