Anaemia is a common and potentially dangerous condition of the blood brought about when the body does not produce enough red blood cells. You should carry out this test if you think that you may be anaemic. This home health test checks the levels of Ferritin (FER) in blood in order to verify the iron stores.
Why Should I Perform the Iron Deficiency Test?
The Ferritin level in blood gives is useful in detecting iron store depletion as the concentration drops to very low values. As iron deficiency develops, iron stores are depleted before anaemia becomes apparent. The FER screening should be performed by all the pregnant women and regularly by all anaemic people with a healthy lifestyle.
Checking the normality of the FER value is a very good tool for verifying the iron deficiency anaemia and eventually taking the required preventive actions.
Feeling a bit run down lately? You’re not alone. Iron deficiency is more common than you’d think, especially among women. It can sneak up on you, leaving you feeling knackered without knowing why. But don’t fret – this simple at-home test can help you get to the bottom of things. Whether you’re a busy mum, a vegetarian worried about getting enough iron, or just someone who wants to keep tabs on their health, checking your ferritin levels is a smart move. It’s quick, painless, and could save you weeks of unnecessary fatigue. Why soldier on feeling less than your best when you could nip the problem in the bud?
How Does It Work?
The test is based on an immunochromatographic reaction correlated to the reference laboratory test. The cut-off is calibrated at 30 ng/mL according to the international standard.
1) The sample is a blood drop taken with the painless sterile lancet contained in the box.
2) Obtain a big drop of blood by squeezing the finger.
3) Put the drop of blood on the indicated point on the device.
4) Add the diluent, wait for 10 minutes and read the result.
Content
1 device for the test, 1 pipette and desiccant, 1 dropper vial containing 1 ml of diluent, 1 painless sterile lancet for blood sampling, instructions for use.

Have previously ordered tests from ZOOM to confirm my anaemia (saves waiting weeks for GP appointment) yet again my recent test indicated what I had already guessed. I ordered two tests so that I can retest in about three weeks time. The last time I did the retest after three weeks of taking supplements it indicated normal. Easy to use.

Easy instructions to follow. A little hard drawing the blood but managed in the end. Results confirmed what I had thought.
