Fortel® Prostate (PSA) Screening Test is a rapid lateral flow test to detect human Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) using a finger prick whole blood sample.

PSA is produced by the prostate gland and released in very small amounts into the bloodstream. The test is designed to detect PSA levels above the expected normal range. The cut-off mevel is 4ng/ml which equals a normal level.

Elevated PSA levels may be a sign of possible prostate disease (enlarged prostate, prostate cancer). Screening based on PSA can facilitate early detection of Prostate Cancer, reducing mortality in long term.

Note: As with all self-testing devices, a definitive diagnosis should not be made on the basis of a single test. The diagnosis should be made by a physician after all clinical and laboratory findings have been evaluated.

Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer in men¹.

Across the UK, more than 52,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year on average – that’s 143 men every day.

1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

More than 12,000 men die from prostate cancer every year.

Screening based on PSA allows for the detection of Prostate Cancer at an early stage, reducing cancer-specific mortality at long-term follow-up.²
