Syphilis Health Check Rapid Test by Diagnostics Direct is a CLIA-waived point-of-care rapid test that helps clinicians screen for Treponema pallidum antibodies during the same visit. It is used in physician offices, urgent care, retail pharmacies, mobile outreach, prenatal clinics, and community programs when fast, reliable answers guide counseling and treatment. The single-use cassette runs on fresh fingerstick whole blood with a simple two-step workflow and a visual two-color readout in about 10 minutes, so teams can test, document, and act without an analyzer.
Why clinicians choose it
The in-line extraction design reduces steps and hands-on time, which is helpful when testing multiple patients or working in the field. Built-in procedural controls support confidence that the run was valid, and the kit stores at room temperature for grab-and-go use at events or satellite sites. For programs following a “screen and treat” model, rapid results help reduce loss to follow-up while still allowing reflex laboratory testing when policy requires confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can run this test?
Trained staff in CLIA-waived sites (for fingerstick whole blood). Venous whole blood, serum, or plasma use may require a higher complexity setting per local policy.
When should it be used?
During initial screening of symptomatic patients, prenatal visits, contact tracing, and community screening where rapid results support timely counseling and therapy.
Do I still need confirmatory testing?
Follow your state and facility algorithm. Many programs confirm or stage infection with additional treponemal and non-treponemal tests.
Are external controls required?
On-board controls indicate that the test ran. External positive and negative controls are recommended when a new lot is opened and at defined quality intervals.
