Liver-Screen® Swiss Point of Care

GENERAL POINTS

The Liver is an essential organ of the body having a critical role for health. It helps break down food, clean blood, produce proteins and store energy.

In case of liver problems, a number of symptoms may appear including dark urine or light-coloured stool, no desire to eat, yellowish eyes or skin (jaundice), swelling in your belly, weakness or feeling very tired. There might be many reasons for a problem occurrence in liver such as hepatitis, side effects of certain medications, cirrhosis due to heavy drinking, overweight especially in case of diabetes or high blood pressure.

Many tests could be performed on the liver but the most commonly used tests are transaminases (ALT and AST) enzymes assessment. These enzymes are released in the blood by the liver in response to damage or disease.

The LIVER-Screen® is a manual qualitative immunochromatographic screening test for the immunological detection of increased transaminase (both ALT and AST) levels in finger prick whole blood sample. It can be used at home by lay users for self-testing for the assessment of liver physiological status. The test consists on a plastic housing containing one stick having two distinct zones for transaminases detection (red colour when positive) and one control zone (blue colour).

How to use the Liver-Screen® Swiss Point of Care

Prepare everything properly before starting the testing procedure. Place the content of the box on a clean, dry and flat surface (e.g. table). Then perform the test as follows:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly. Use soap and warm water. Dry your hand with clean towel.

2. Prepare the test device and capillary pipette: Take them out from the protective pouch (tear at the notch) and place them in the reach of your hands (you will need them later). Discard the desiccant bag.

3. Prepare the lancet. Hold the lancet without touching the trigger button. Unlock the cap twisting it off ¼ turn until you feel it separates from the lancet and then continue twisting it (2-3 rotations). Don’t pull just twist and discard the cap when finished. ①②

4. Clean the end of the middle or ring finger with cotton damped with alcohol. Massage the chosen finger towards the tip for 10 to 15 seconds to enhance the blood flow.

5. Prick the finger: put the lancet firmly against the side of the previously cleaned finger, and press the release trigger button.③ The lancet will automatically retract into the body of the device. Gently massage the finger to create a nice round blood droplet.④

6. Collect the blood with the capillary pipette: Gently touch the blood droplet with the open end of the capillary pipette. It must be filled until the line indicated on the capillary pipette. Do not press the bulb, it fills by itself. Make another blood droplet if the line is not reached. As far as possible, avoid air bubbles. ⑤

7. Put the blood collected with the pipette into the sample well of the device, by pressing on the pipette bulb. ⑥

8. Wait 30-40 sec for the blood being totally absorbed into the sample well.

9. Add the diluent: Unscrew the blue cap of the diluent dropper vial (leave the white cap tightly screwed) and add the diluent as follows: Hold the diluent dropper vial vertically and slowly add exactly 4 drops in the sample well of the device with an interval of 2-3 seconds between each drop. ⑦

10. Read the result after 10 minutes. Do not interpret after 15 minutes.
