Product Description

TSH Rapid Flow Test – Thyroid Stimulating Hormone – Pack of 25

The TSH 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 thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) value in minutes, giving a quick view of thyroid function during the appointment.

What the TSH Test Measures

• Thyroid stimulating hormone: TSH is produced by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) production.
• Possible underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism): Raised TSH levels can be seen when the thyroid is underactive.
• Possible overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism): Low TSH levels can occur when the thyroid is overactive.
• Objective baseline: Provides a numerical value that can be tracked over time and shared with other healthcare professionals.

Benefits of TSH Testing for Patients

• Clarity around symptoms: Helps explore fatigue, weight change, feeling cold or hot, hair thinning, or low mood.
• Support for oral and general health: Thyroid imbalance can be linked with dry mouth, burning mouth symptoms, and changes in healing.
• Convenient finger-prick test: Offers a quick thyroid screen without a separate laboratory visit.
• Better conversations with clinicians: A clear TSH value can support discussions with a GP or endocrinologist.

TSH results should always be interpreted with symptoms, medical history, and further thyroid tests where needed. Patients with ongoing symptoms or abnormal values should be encouraged to seek medical assessment.

When TSH Testing May Be Considered

• Persistent tiredness or low energy: When lifestyle changes alone have not helped.
• Unexplained weight change: Weight gain or loss not fully explained by diet and activity.
• Temperature sensitivity: Feeling unusually cold or hot compared with others.
• Palpitations, anxiety, or tremor: Symptoms that may suggest overactive thyroid function.
• Oral and facial signs: Dry mouth, burning sensations, or slow healing that raise concern about systemic health.

Benefits for Your Clinic or Wellness Service

• Broader health screening: Add thyroid checks alongside other metabolic and hormone tests.
• New revenue opportunity: Offer TSH testing with follow-up reviews and, where appropriate, lifestyle or supplement advice and 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 TSH 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 full thyroid profiling or diagnosis by a GP, endocrinologist, or other medical specialist.
