ARC Medical is now offering a range of self-test blood kits, allowing individuals to monitor various health parameters from the comfort of their homes. These kits are designed for easy self-collection of capillary blood samples, which are then sent to an ISO:15189 accredited clinical laboratory for analysis. Test results are returned directly to ARC Medical before being forwarded to the patient.

The available self-test kits cover a variety of health assessments, including:

• Full Blood Count: Evaluates overall health and detects a range of disorders, such as anaemia and infection.
• Diabetes (HbA1c): Monitors long-term blood sugar levels to help manage diabetes.
• Lipid Profile: Assesses cholesterol levels to evaluate cardiovascular health.
• Thyroid Function: Checks thyroid hormone levels to identify potential thyroid disorders.
• Vitamin D (25 OH): Measures vitamin D levels, important for bone and immune health.

Each kit includes the necessary materials for sample collection, and it’s recommended to post self-collected samples on the same day, avoiding weekends and bank holidays to ensure sample integrity. It’s important to note that these are not point-of-care tests; all analyses are conducted in a clinical laboratory setting.
