The thyroid gland is an important gland in the neck that produces hormones that regulate the body's metabolism. It can affect almost all organs and systems, including the heart, muscles and skin. Disorders of thyroid function, such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), can cause a range of symptoms, including weight gain or loss, fatigue, mood swings, and skin, hair, and nail problems. Diagnosis and treatment of thyroid problems often require blood tests and medical evaluation. Proper management of thyroid problems is essential to maintaining a balanced and healthy metabolism.

With Screenit, you can easily test whether you suffer from impaired thyroid function in just 10 minutes. The test is done through a prick in the fingertip and shows whether your levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood are normal or not and can thus be an indicator of hypothyroidism, i.e. lack of thyroid hormone.

In the event of a positive test result - Make an appointment with a doctor and tell them that you received a positive result in a self-test. In order to establish a diagnosis and decide on treatment, more samples need to be taken in healthcare.

In the event of a negative test result - If bothersome symptoms persist, you should contact the healthcare system to investigate why you feel unwell/experience symptoms to determine the cause.

1. Wash your hands

2. Open the foil bag and take out the test cassette at room temperature.

3. Remove the protective cap from the lancet.

4. Clean the fingertip (middle finger or ring finger) with the provided alcohol wipe.

5. Place the part of the lancet whose cap was removed on the fingertip and press to pierce the finger. The needle tip is automatically drawn back into the lancet.

6. Hold your hand down and massage your finger to draw out a drop of blood.

7. Squeeze the pipette and move it towards the drop of blood to suck up the blood.

8. Squeeze the blood into the test well (S) of the test cassette.

9. Wait until the blood covers the entire test well. Then add 1 drop of buffer solution to the sample well (S). 10. Wait for the colored lines to appear. Read the result after 10 minutes.
