SKU: GHM Vitamin D Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test US
Brand: Global Healthcare Medical
Product Overview
Global Healthcare Medical GHM Vitamin D Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test US is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay designed for the semi-quantitative detection of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in human fingerstick whole blood, serum, and plasma specimens. The kit is intended for use by healthcare professionals as a screening test and as an aid in the assessment of vitamin D status.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for bone development and maintenance, as it enhances calcium, magnesium, and phosphate absorption. Vitamin D deficiency affects an estimated one billion people worldwide and is linked to osteoporosis, immune dysfunction, and cardiometabolic disease. Approximately 40% of children and adults are vitamin D deficient, and 60% are deficient or insufficient globally. A circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D level above 30 ng/mL is necessary to ensure adequate levels of the unmodified molecule, and deficiency can lead to various complications, most notably rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. The evaluation of vitamin D deficiency involves measuring serum levels of the 25-hydroxy form, with values below 20 ng/mL indicating deficiency, levels between 20 and 30 ng/mL suggesting insufficiency, and levels above 30 ng/mL indicating sufficiency.
The GHM Vitamin D Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test US provides a practical, point-of-care screening solution for the rapid classification of vitamin D status, enabling timely clinical decision-making and supporting appropriate patient management. The test delivers semi-quantitative results in just 10 minutes, supporting rapid clinical assessment at the point of care. The test is compatible with fingerstick whole blood, serum, and plasma specimens, providing flexible sample collection options suitable for a wide range of clinical settings, including primary care clinics, endocrinology clinics, and clinical laboratories.
The kit is intended for in vitro diagnostic use and professional use only, suitable for application scenarios including primary care clinics, endocrinology clinics, hospital laboratories, and clinical laboratories. The VivaDiag product line is manufactured under an EN ISO 13485 certified quality management system covering in vitro diagnostic test kits and analyzers based on immunochromatography.
Key Features & Benefits
Colloidal Gold Immunochromatography – Reliable Semi-Quantitative Detection
The GHM Vitamin D Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test US is based on lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay technology. The test strip contains colloidal gold-conjugated antibodies specific to 25-hydroxyvitamin D, along with immobilized capture reagents on the test line. The test provides semi-quantitative results by comparing the intensity of the test line against a reference scale, enabling healthcare professionals to classify vitamin D status into three clinically important categories: deficiency (<20 ng/mL), insufficiency (20–30 ng/mL), and sufficiency (>30 ng/mL).
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Colloidal gold immunochromatography | Established and reliable detection method |
| Semi-quantitative analysis | Provides estimated 25(OH)D concentration for clinical decision-making |
| 25(OH)D-specific antibodies | Targeted detection of 25-hydroxyvitamin D |
| Three-category classification | Distinguishes deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency |
| Internal procedural control | Confirms proper test performance |
Fast Results – 10 Minutes
The GHM Vitamin D Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test US provides semi-quantitative results in just 10 minutes, supporting rapid clinical decision-making and efficient patient workflow in point-of-care settings. Traditional laboratory-based vitamin D testing relies on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or chemiluminescent assays—methods that are costly and time-consuming. Rapid point-of-care testing addresses these limitations by delivering actionable results within minutes.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 10-minute test time | Rapid turnaround for timely clinical decisions |
| Point-of-care compatibility | Suitable for primary care clinics and endocrinology clinics |
| Efficient workflow | Enables immediate patient assessment |
| Quick sample-to-result | Supports high-throughput screening environments |
Fingerstick Whole Blood Compatibility – Simple and Non-Invasive Collection
The GHM Vitamin D Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test US is compatible with fingerstick whole blood specimens, providing a simple and minimally invasive sample collection method. The test requires only 20 µL of fingerstick whole blood, making it practical for use in both clinic-based and field-based testing scenarios. Serum and plasma specimens may also be used. Cross-platform testing between serum and capillary samples has confirmed a 100% classification agreement rate and an overall diagnostic accuracy of 95.5%.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Fingerstick whole blood | Simple and minimally invasive sample collection |
| Serum and plasma compatibility | Flexible specimen options for different clinical protocols |
| Small sample volume required | Practical for pediatric and adult patients |
| No special equipment required | Streamlined workflow in clinical settings |
Clinical Utility – Aid for Assessment of Vitamin D Status
The GHM Vitamin D Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test US is intended for use as a screening test and as an aid in the assessment of vitamin D status. The test provides rapid semi-quantitative detection of 25(OH)D, enabling timely clinical decision-making and supporting patient management.
The test is particularly valuable in settings where rapid identification of vitamin D deficiency supports timely initiation of supplementation and prevention of associated complications. The 2024 Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline recommends against routine 25(OH)D testing in healthy individuals without specific risk factors, and testing should be reserved for patients with clinical indications such as hypocalcemia, osteoporosis, malabsorption syndromes, chronic kidney disease, and other conditions associated with hypovitaminosis D. The test is also suitable for use in decentralized testing environments where laboratory infrastructure may be limited.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Vitamin D deficiency detection aid | Supports identification of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency |
| Risk stratification support | Helps identify patients requiring supplementation |
| Screening test utility | Suitable for use as a screening test in clinical settings |
| Field-friendly testing | No instrumentation required, suitable for decentralized settings |
| Clinical versatility | Useful across primary care clinics, endocrinology clinics, and clinical laboratories |
High Accuracy – Trusted Clinical Performance
The GHM Vitamin D Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test US is designed to deliver reliable clinical performance with high sensitivity and specificity. The product specifications report a sensitivity of 94.6%, specificity of 93.3%, and accuracy of 94.4%. A clinical performance evaluation of the Vitamin D Rapid Test Cassette demonstrated that the test correctly classified vitamin D status in all ten HPLC-verified samples, achieving 100% categorical agreement, and achieved 94.4% overall agreement in a larger in-house cohort of 90 clinical specimens.

Performance characteristics based on product specifications and published evaluations of rapid vitamin D tests. A clinical performance evaluation of the Vitamin D Rapid Test Cassette (OVD-402H) demonstrated 100% categorical agreement with HPLC in ten fingerstick whole-blood samples spanning deficient, insufficient, and sufficient ranges, and 94.4% overall agreement in a larger in-house cohort of 90 archived clinical specimens benchmarked against a predicate quantitative assay. A smartphone-integrated sandwich-type LFA for 25(OH)D achieved a detection range of 5–100 ng/mL, with little interference and cross-reactivity for endogenous substances or structurally similar vitamin D derivatives, and demonstrated 97.0% category consensus (κ = 0.951) compared with the Atellica IM 1600 analyzer. Detection is optimal when specimens are collected and processed according to the manufacturer's instructions, and the test is best suited for use as an aid in the assessment of vitamin D status in at-risk patients. The test provides a preliminary result; quantitative laboratory testing is recommended for confirmation and monitoring.
