Product Description

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Rapid Flow Test – Pack of 25

The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Rapid Flow Test is a single-use capillary assay designed for use with the PolarisDX Igloo Pro device. Using a small finger-prick blood sample, it provides a quantitative CRP value in minutes, giving you a clear indication of systemic inflammation during the appointment.

What the CRP Test Measures

• Systemic inflammation: CRP is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body.
• Possible infection or acute inflammatory response: Raised levels can be associated with infection, trauma, or inflammatory conditions.
• Background health status: Helps you understand whether inflammation could be contributing to fatigue, pain, or reduced wellbeing.
• Baseline for monitoring: Provides a starting point for repeat testing to track changes over time.

Benefits of CRP Testing for Patients

• Early insight into inflammation: Highlights when further medical assessment is advisable, even if symptoms are vague or mild.
• Better understanding of health risks: Supports discussions around cardiovascular risk, metabolic health, and lifestyle factors linked to inflammation.
• Convenient chairside test: Quick finger-prick sampling avoids separate blood test appointments.
• Easy-to-explain results: The Igloo Pro provides a clear numerical CRP value, helping patients see the impact of lifestyle or treatment changes.

Why CRP Testing Matters in Dental and Wellness Settings

• Links oral and systemic health: Elevated CRP can be associated with chronic inflammatory conditions, including periodontitis and other systemic diseases.
• Supports treatment planning: Helps you identify patients who may benefit from closer monitoring, tailored care, or referral to their GP.
• Motivates behaviour change: A raised CRP value can encourage patients to engage with advice on diet, smoking cessation, stress, and oral hygiene.
• Monitors response over time: Repeat testing can show whether interventions are associated with a reduction in inflammatory burden.

Benefits for Your Clinic or Wellness Service

• Expanded service offering: Add objective inflammation screening alongside existing dental, aesthetic, or wellness services.
• New revenue opportunity: Charge for CRP testing and follow-up reviews, plus recommend supplements, products, or therapies where appropriate.
• On-site results in minutes: Review findings immediately and guide patients on next steps while they are still in the chair.
• Integrated data: Results are stored on the Igloo Pro, ready to share securely with patients or their healthcare team.
