Important information

1 test is included per pack.

This test will measure the levels of ferritin in the blood to determine if you have iron deficiency anaemia or if you are on the correct dose of an iron supplement. 

People who are most at risk of an iron deficiency include women with heavy periods or who are pregnant, children and vegetarians. If you are 

Iron deficiency can go unnoticed but will impact many bodily functions. Iron levels can affect the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. Haemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that enables the transport of oxygenated blood throughout the body. If you do not eat or consume enough iron, your body is unable to produce enough haemoglobin and iron deficiency anaemia will eventually develop. 

Mild iron deficiency is a very common concern and is easily treatable with usually no complications. If left untreated, a more severe case of iron deficiency anaemia can lead to health problems including:

- Heart failure

- Problems during pregnancy

- Delayed growth and development in children


Reading the results

Wait for the coloured line(s) to appear. Read results at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

NORMAL: Two lines appear. Both T (test) and C (control) line appear. This result means that the ferritin concentration in blood is normal and that there is no potential iron deficiency.


ABNORMAL: One line appears. Only the control line appears (C). This result means that the ferritin concentration in blood is too low. You should consult a physician because it may be an iron deficiency.


INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.

Procedure

1. Wash your hands with soap and rinse with clear warm water.

2. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Open the foil pouch and remove the cassette.

3. Carefully pull off and dispose of the cap of the lancet.

4. Use the  alcohol pad provided to clean the fingertip of the middle or ring finger as the puncture site.

5. Press the orange end of the lancet against the fingertip. The tip retracts automatically and safely after use.

6. Keeping the hand pointing downwards, massage the end of your finger to obtain a blood drop.

7. Without squeezing the dropper, place it in contact with the blood. The blood migrates into the dropper up to the line indicated. Avoid air bubbles, you may need to massage your finger again if the blood does not reach the line.

8. Put the collected blood into the sample well of the cassette by squeezing the dropper bulb.

9. Wait for the blood to be totally dispensed in the well. Unscrew the cap of the buffer bottle and add 1 drop of buffer into the sample well of the cassette.

10. Wait for the coloured line(s) to appear. Read results at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
