Ferri-check - blood iron test

Product Description

Rapid, single-use test for the detection of iron deficiency in whole blood.

Features

It is a rapid immunodiagnostic test for the evaluation of ferritin (a protein capable of storing iron in cells) from a fingerstick whole blood sample. Therefore, the test could be used to screen for potential iron deficiency.

How to use

1. Place the contents of the box on a clean, dry, flat surface and perform the test. Wash your hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Dry your hands with a clean towel.
2. Prepare the test device and pipette. Discard the desiccant sachet.
3. Prepare the lancet without touching the activation button. Unlock the lancet cap.
4. Clean the tip of your middle or ring finger with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol. Rub the selected finger toward the tip for 10-15 seconds to increase blood flow. Press the device firmly against the lateral side of the previously cleaned finger and press the trigger release button.
5. Contact the plastic pipette with the blood sample. The blood migrates through capillary action in the pipette to the line indicated on the pipette. Dispense the collected blood with the pipette into the sample well of the device, pressing on the bulb of the pipette.
6. Wait 30-40 seconds for the blood to be completely absorbed into the sample well. Unscrew the blue cap of the diluent dropper bottle and slowly add exactly 4 drops to the sample well of the device, pausing 2-3 seconds between each drop.
7. Read the result after 10 minutes. Do not interpret after 15 minutes.
