Product Description

FSH Rapid Flow Test – Follicle Stimulating Hormone – Pack of 25

The FSH Rapid Flow Test is a single-use capillary assay designed for use with the PolarisDX Igloo Pro device. From a small finger-prick blood sample, it provides a quantitative follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) value in minutes, giving a quick view of hormonal status during the appointment.

What the FSH Test Measures

• Ovarian function: In women, FSH helps regulate the menstrual cycle and egg development.
• Perimenopause and menopause: Raised FSH levels are often seen as the ovaries become less active.
• Fertility status: Abnormal FSH values can be associated with reduced ovarian reserve or ovulatory issues.
• Testicular function (in men): FSH plays a role in sperm production and testicular health.
• Objective hormonal baseline: Provides a numerical result that can be tracked and shared with other healthcare professionals.

Benefits of FSH Testing for Patients

• Clarity around symptoms: Helps explore causes of irregular cycles, hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, or low libido.
• Support with fertility planning: Offers useful information for patients trying to conceive or considering fertility advice.
• Convenient finger-prick test: Enables patients to check hormone levels without a separate lab visit.
• Better conversations with clinicians: A clear FSH value can support discussions with a GP, gynaecologist, or fertility specialist.

FSH results must always be interpreted in context with symptoms, cycle timing, and other tests. Patients with persistent symptoms, fertility concerns, or abnormal results should be encouraged to seek medical assessment.

When FSH Testing May Be Considered

• Irregular or absent periods: When cycle changes are prolonged or unexplained.
• Suspected perimenopause or menopause: Especially in women experiencing vasomotor or sleep symptoms.
• Difficulty conceiving: Couples who have been trying for pregnancy without success.
• History of ovarian surgery or chemotherapy: Where there may be concern about reduced ovarian reserve.
• Symptoms suggestive of hormonal imbalance in men: Low libido, erectile issues, or suspected testicular problems, in discussion with a GP.

Benefits for Your Clinic or Wellness Service

• Hormone health screening: Add FSH testing alongside other wellness and fertility-related checks.
• New revenue opportunity: Offer FSH tests with follow-up reviews, and where appropriate, guidance on lifestyle, supplements, or onward referral.
• Results in minutes: Discuss findings and next steps while the patient is still in the chair.
• Digital record keeping: Results are stored on the Igloo Pro device and can be shared with patients or their medical team.

Each box contains 25 single-use FSH Rapid Flow tests, ready for use with the PolarisDX Igloo Pro. This test is intended as a screening and information tool. It does not replace hormone profiling or diagnosis by a GP, gynaecologist, endocrinologist, or fertility specialist.
