A regional health board serving a population of 300,000 needed to deliver the NHS health check scheme using a mobile near patient testing equipment.

Fitech provided the Mission Pro, non fasting full lipid testing system. Supplied in a secure light weight flight case this system delivers a full lipid profile in under 2 mins. Following full training provided by Fitech, the health advisor team reach out into the community and via local businesses to deliver the over 40s health checks.

Using a small disposable lancet a finger prick sample is collected with a capillary tube which is then deposited in to the testing strip for analysis. The device takes under 2 mins to deliver a full Lipid profile (Total Cholesterol, HDL, Triglycerides and LDL). A glucose test is then taken with a smaller unit with the same sample point.
