BERKELEYHEALTH IRON FER TEST 1TEST

Product Description: • Self-test for the detection of ferritin levels in whole blood samples. • Iron is an essential metal for our bodies and is crucial for transporting oxygen in the blood, for cell multiplication and to build the structure of tissues and organs. However, in excessively high levels it is toxic for the body. • For this reason, every one of us has a system for taking up iron from the external environment (e.g. via a diet rich in iron-containing foods) and storing it in cells in a way that is not excessive (and therefore not toxic). • Ferritin is the protein responsible for this storage function. The level of ferritin is an excellent indicator of the amount of iron available to the body. • Low levels of this protein in the blood are an indication of depleted iron stores, a condition that precedes the development of anaemia. A decrease can be caused by pregnancy, haemorrhages, alterations in iron uptake. Product Features: • IRON FER TEST is useful for checking the body’s iron reserves. How to use: • 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.
