The triglyceride test is a rapid test for the semi-quantitative determination of triglyceride levels in whole blood collected from a fingertip. The test is intended for in vitro diagnostics and can be performed independently at home. It allows for a preliminary assessment of triglyceride levels and the identification of elevated values associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and lipid metabolism disorders.

Measuring triglyceride levels is an important part of preventive healthcare and monitoring the body’s lipid metabolism. Elevated triglyceride levels may increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, pancreatitis, and other cardiovascular conditions. Regular monitoring of triglyceride levels helps detect abnormalities sooner and take appropriate preventive measures or consult a doctor.

The high accuracy of this test allows for reliable results as early as 2 minutes and 30 seconds after applying the blood sample. The test’s measurement range is 99–500 mg/dl (1.12–5.64 mmol/l).

Product intended for self-monitoring.

How to perform the test?

1. Wash your hands with warm water and soap, then dry them thoroughly.
2. Open the package and prepare all the components of the kit.
3. Twist and remove the lancet cap.
4. Gently massage your hand from the wrist to the fingertips to increase blood flow.
5. Place the lancet against your fingertip and press firmly to draw a blood sample.
6. Wipe away the first drop of blood with a clean tissue.
7. Collect the second drop using the capillary tube up to the marked line.
8. Apply the blood sample to the test well.
9. Wait 2 minutes, then turn the test kit upside down.

Usage

• Triglyceride Level Check: The test allows for a quick check of triglyceride levels without the need to visit a laboratory, which can help monitor the body’s lipid metabolism.
• Prevention of cardiovascular diseases: Regular testing can support the early detection of elevated triglyceride levels, which is one of the risk factors for atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.
• Monitoring the effectiveness of diet and physical activity: People changing their lifestyle, following a diet that supports healthy lipid levels, or increasing their physical activity can track the impact of these changes on their triglyceride levels.
• Support during health monitoring: The test can be helpful for people monitoring their triglyceride levels between doctor’s visits.
• Quick assessment at home: The product allows for convenient testing at home and provides a preliminary result in a short time.
