Tuberculosis screening (PPD)
The Mantoux tuberculin skin test is a standard method of determining whether a person is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis using a purified protein derivative (PPD).
Testing details include:
The skin test is administered by injecting a small amount of tuberculin into the skin at the lower part of the arm
The patient must return to a WellNow Urgent Care within 48-72 hours to have their arm test examined
Healthcare workers in particular should be tested pre-employment and annually as they are at risk of unknown exposure to patients with tuberculosis
QGold
A QGold test is an Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) that can diagnose Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A blood draw is performed to detect the presence of interferon-gamma (IFN-g), which is activated by Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens. This test can be performed in a single visit, and results are available within 24 hours.
Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)
A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) is one method of determining if an employee has the necessary lung capacity to wear a respirator safely and effectively.
Our certified staff use a spirometer to measure:
The amount of air released
How quickly air is expelled from the lungs
PFTs are performed as part of a medical surveillance examination to ensure those who are required to wear a respirator do so safely and effectively.
