Pharma SA Calprotectin’ Alert Faecal Self-Test – 1 Test
Pharma Southern Africa Calprotectin’ Alert Self-Test – 1 Test is a home faecal immunodiagnostic test for detecting elevated calprotectin associated with intestinal inflammation.
The test is designed to detect faecal calprotectin above approximately 50 µg/g. Calprotectin is a non-specific inflammatory marker, so an elevated result requires clinical interpretation rather than providing a diagnosis by itself.
Key Benefits
- Non-invasive faecal calprotectin self-test
- Threshold of approximately 50 µg/g
- Result available in approximately 10 minutes
- May assist discussions about inflammatory versus non-inflammatory bowel symptoms
- Single-test kit with collection and extraction components
How to Use
Read the complete instructions before collecting the sample. Use the supplied collection paper and sampling vial, mix the sample exactly as directed and apply the stated number of drops to the test device. Read only at the specified time.
Result Interpretation
A positive or persistent abnormal result should be discussed with a healthcare professional. The test cannot identify the cause of inflammation or replace medical assessment, laboratory testing or endoscopy when clinically required.
Caution & Storage
For in-vitro diagnostic use only. Do not swallow. Do not reuse. Store sealed at the temperature printed on the box and do not use after expiry.
