## Indications for use
The Athelas Home is indicated for the quantitative determination of white blood cells (WBC) and Neutrophil percentages (NEUT%) in capillary whole blood from fingerstick for patient self-testing with results viewable by healthcare professionals, and in capillary or K2EDTA venous whole blood for multiple-patient use in point-of-care settings. For self-testing, the Athelas Home is intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared. The Athelas Home is only to be used with Athelas Test Strips. The Athelas Home is intended for adult patients (aged 21 and older) at risk of neutropenia. For self-testing patients with psychiatric conditions, clinical judgment should be exercised when deciding the end-user and based on the instructions for use (IFU), the treating physician should determine which patients are competent to perform the test by themselves. Results obtained with the Athelas Home should not be the sole basis for patient diagnosis, treatment, or management of leukopenia and neutropenia, and all results should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
