Description

Quick, accurate and easy-to-use home test!

Coeliac disease is a long-term autoimmune disorder affecting the small intestine that can occur in genetically predisposed people. It is caused by intolerance to the ingestion of gluten which are various proteins found in wheat, barley and rye. It is estimated to affect 1% of people worldwide. Typical symptoms include chronic diarrhoea, abdominal pain, gas, weight loss, anaemia, osteoporosis, extreme fatigue and even delayed growth in children.

Presently, the only treatment for Coeliac disease, after being diagnosed, is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. Highly effective whole blood tests are the first point of screening method to detect Coeliac disease. These tests are mainly based on the detection of anti tissue- transglutaminase (t-TG) IgA type antibodies. Check4® Gluten Intolerance is a highly specific immunological rapid test for the detection of anti t-TG IgA type antibodies in finger prick whole blood samples.

Product FAQs

How does Check4® Gluten Intolerance work?

When gluten intolerance is present, there is a production of IgA type specific antibodies directed against t-TG. Check4® Gluten Intolerance allows the detection of these specific antibodies, therefore showing evidences of gluten intolerance.
The sensitivity of Check4® Gluten Intolerance is 10U/mL.

When should the test be used?

Check4® Gluten Intolerance should be performed in case of gluten intolerance symptoms or in case members of the family are already showing this problem, as this disease occurs in genetically predisposed individuals.

The test should be performed while being on regular diet (i.e. not a gluten-free diet) so as to give a valid result.

Can the result be incorrect?

The results are accurate as far as the instructions are carefully respected. Nevertheless, the result can be incorrect if Check4® Gluten Intolerance gets wet before test performing or if the quantity of blood dispensed in the sample well is not sufficient. The plastic pipette provided in the box helps to ensure that the correct volume of blood is collected.

How to interpret the test if the colour and the intensity of the lines are different?

The colour and intensity of the lines have no importance for result interpretation. The lines should only be homogeneous and clearly visible. The test should be considered as positive whatever the colour intensity of the test line (T) is.

What is the line that appears under the mark C (Control) for?

When this line appears, it only means that the test was performing well.

If I read the result after 20 minutes, will the result be reliable?

No. The result should be read within 15 minutes after adding the diluent. The result is reliable up to but not after 20 minutes.

What do I have to do if the result is positive?

If the result is positive, it means that anti-t-TG IgA type antibodies are present in blood and that you should consult a doctor to show them the test results. Then, your doctor will decide whether additional investigation should be performed.

What do I have to do if the result is negative?

If the result is negative, it means that the test could not detect anti-t-TG IgA type antibodies in blood sample. In limited cases, IgA deficiency may also lead to false negative results. Meanwhile, it is recommended to consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

What is the accuracy of Check4® Gluten Intolerance?

Check4® Gluten Intolerance is accurate. Evaluation reports show an overall agreement of at least 97% with reference methods. Although this test is reliable, false positive or false negative results could be obtained.
