About the reader

From visual lines to clear data.

The Welleo Lateral Flow Reader is a compact, reusable device designed to digitally read lateral flow tests and transform visual lines into reliable data. Used with the Welleo app or software, it analyzes test and control line intensity to deliver clear qualitative or quantitative results, reducing subjectivity and improving consistency.

Welleo Professional Reader

Clinical-grade results, at your counter.

A compact reader that brings quantitative testing to your counter: one drop of blood, one cassette, one result.

Capillary blood

A drop of blood from the fingertip goes on the test cassette, which slides straight into the reader.

Immunofluorescence technology

Multi-channel light sensor

Light excites the fluorescent markers on the test strip, and a multi-channel optical sensor reads every line.

A quantitative result in 15 minutes.

No laboratory needed.

The result appears in the Welleo Professional app, ready to review with your customer.

Tests, reader, app and supplements: all your team needs to make testing part of everyday advice.

Technical details

The specifics.

Taken from the instructions for use.

Intended use

Photometric analyzer for lateral flow assay intended for professional healthcare use. It enables qualification, semi-quantification and/or quantification of the intensity of test and control lines on lateral flow strips for in vitro diagnostics. The scope of the samples analyzed and the target population are defined by the diagnostic kit manufacturer. The integration of the Welleo lateral flow reader with the lateral flow strip is not within the scope of this product. Quantification of the analyte to be analyzed is the responsibility of the diagnostic kit manufacturer. The device is manually operated, reusable, and powered by an internal battery rechargeable via a USB-C port.

Measuring principle

The Welleo lateral flow reader integrates a light source and a multi-channel light sensor, enabling qualitative, semi-quantitative, or quantitative measurement of control and test lines on a lateral flow strip.

The reader connects wirelessly to a mobile app or PC. The lateral flow strip is manually inserted and removed when prompted by the app. Data captured by the reader is sent by the app to the cloud for processing. The results obtained are returned to the app.

Storage and transport

The device must be stored and transported under the following environmental conditions:

  • Temperature: -20 – +50°C
  • Relative humidity: 20–90%
  • Avoid direct sunlight
Quality control

There is a quality control (QC) procedure implemented in the app to ensure that the device maintains its functionality throughout its useful life. The QC kit will be stored inside the packaging for proper maintenance. In case of damage to the QC kit, contact your distributor.

Quality control is enabled in the ""Profile"" section, QC button. The app will ask the user to scan the QR code on the QC kit, then connect the device, insert the QC kit into the reader until it touches the back of the tunnel, and then press the QC Check button. The device will perform some internal checks lasting about 5 seconds, and then the results (PASS or FAIL) will be displayed on the screen. If the result is FAIL, the device shall not be used.

WIRELESS UPDATE The device has built-in functionality for firmware over-the-air update (FUOTA). This feature is available in the ""Profile"" section, Check for Updates button. The device will only be updated if there is a more recent firmware version available than the one installed. The status of the update process will be displayed on the screen and once completed the user will be notified.

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS The reader measures the intensity of test and control lines on the lateral flow test to measure the analyte levels specified in the diagnostic kit. It is advisable to confirm results using a liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) test.
