WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?

IRON FER TEST is useful for checking the body’s iron reserves.

A decrease in blood ferritin levels can be caused by conditions and diseases such as anemia, pregnancy, bleeding, impaired iron absorption and tuberculosis.

TECH SPECS

IRON FER TEST is an immunochromatographic device that detects ferritin values in blood below the cut-off of 30 ng/mL.

Specificity	100%
Sensitivity	85.2%
Accuracy	96.6%

Description

Self-test for the detection of ferritin levels in whole blood samples

CONTENT

1 test cassette
1 vial with dropper containing the diluent
2 sterile lancets
1 pipette for blood sampling
1 cleanser gauze
instructions for use

USE PROCEDURE

Draw a blood sample by using the sterile lancet provided;
Collect the sample indicated with the black line by using the capillary pipette provided;
Deposit the collected specimen into the sample well (S) indicated on the test cassette;
Add 2 drops of the diluent and wait 5 minutes before reading the result.

RESULTS INTERPRETATION

Negative	ferritin levels in the blood are above 30 ng/mL. Cases where the ferritin concentration is just below this value (27 ng/mL-29 ng/mL) can give a similar result.
Positive	ferritin value in blood is lower than the cut-off, it is necessary to consult your doctor.
