QuickCheck is designed for a PD nurse to use in the clinic or patient’s home. It provides an instant and accurate measurement of leukocyte levels in peritoneal effluent.

QuickCheck allows nurses to carry out an instant leukocyte count at home. It provides a clear answer as to whether the ISPD threshold level of leukocytes has been exceeded, providing information to help clinical teams to decide whether patients should attend the hospital.

QuickCheck allows a simple non-subjective test to be carried out every day, reinforcing the importance of prevention and monitoring for peritonitis.
