Discounts may apply if your organisation has more than 100 staff that utilize our services…. Each employee receives A report on their cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure along with the normal ranges for each result. Referrals and advice are given with each test where applicable. OUR TESTING PROCEDURE Testing is conducted using guidelines as depicted by the World Health Organisation and A.C.T hygiene laws. The objective of the program is to collect statistics and to give individuals an accurate guide to their current basic health. The Early Detection Program is tax deductible for companies and can be claimed through occupational health & safety. Statistics collected over the last six years reveal that in an average year we will call between 5 to 10 ambulances for high blood pressure. In thirty tests we generally find 2 Type II Diabetics, 6 high risk cholesterol problems and 4 high blood pressure readings. Our referral rate for further testing and advice is between 6 to 10 referrals for every thirty tests. The highest female blood pressure reading we have recorded was 283 / 172 in Mitchell Industrial Zone (normal is 120 / 80) and 210 / 170 for a male in Fyshwick Industrial Zone. Cholesterol / Glucose: Cholesterol results are given within three minutes. Blood glucose results are available within twelve seconds, and can give an indication of diabetes. Appropriate questions will be asked in regard to your family history any medication you are taking and what you have been eating, drunk on the day of the test. In ten years Capital Health Care has never been advised by any medical professional or organisation that the result given was incorrect. A range of handouts will be available at the completion of testing. Consultation / referral takes place if necessary. Accuracy: Cholesterol tests conducted without fasting are accurate to within 0.2 to 0.5 mmol/L. A random test may result in a reading of 6.8 mmol/L. This result is in the high risk category and will receive a referral for further testing; a pathology result would indicate between 6.5 and 6.7 mmol/L. The idea behind the early detection program is to give you the opportunity to detect problems before they become life threatening. Normal cholesterol results are below 5.5 mmol/L….. Fasting: If you wish to fast for the test the testing officer will give you an indication of when staff will be in your area. Testing done in conjunction with fasting is 100% accurate but not necessary for total cholesterol testing , please ring for details. If Testing Officers are late please call ASAP please eat fruit if you are hungry.
