Description

This home-use ferritin self-test enables individuals to quickly screen for iron deficiency by measuring ferritin concentration in a capillary blood sample. After a simple finger-prick, the blood is applied to a test cassette, and the result appears in around five minutes. Common signs of low iron or ferritin – such as pale skin, dizziness, shortness of breath, or cravings for non-food items (pica) – can be better assessed with this rapid test. The test is designed to help users identify potential iron deficiency early and decide whether formal medical follow-up is warranted.

Features

  • Simple finger-prick test

  • Contains Lancet
  • Convenient lateral flow cassette test
  • Results in 5 minutes

The Suresign Iron Deficiency Ferritin Test works by measuring the concentration of ferritin in human fingerstick blood, enabling you to see whether you’re at risk of an iron deficiency.

Signs of Ferritin Deficiency

Iron – a vital component of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body – plays a critical role in sustaining human health. When iron levels are low, the body can’t produce sufficient healthy red blood cells, which leads to a deficiency in ferritin, a protein that contains iron. An iron deficiency can cause a range of symptoms and, if left untreated, will lead to anaemia, which can affect overall health and wellbeing.

Pale skin and conjunctiva

One of the most noticeable signs of low iron levels is a change in the colour of the skin and conjunctiva (the inner lining of the eyelids). If a customer has noticeably paler skin than usual, especially in the face, it could be a symptom of ferritin deficiency. The paleness results from reduced haemoglobin in the blood, which normally gives skin its rosy hue.

Headaches and dizziness

Frequent headaches and a sensation of dizziness or light-headedness can be associated with low ferritin levels. These symptoms occur because of the reduced oxygen supply to the brain due to insufficient haemoglobin. Additionally, people with iron deficiency may experience cold hands and feet due to poor circulation which is a direct consequence of reduced oxygen flow.

Craving for non-food substances (pica)

Pica, an unusual craving for non-food substances, such as ice, clay, or dirt, is another symptom linked to iron deficiency. While the exact cause of pica is unclear, it is thought to be the body’s way of seeking alternative sources of iron or other minerals.

Shortness of breath

A customer who is experiencing shortness of breath or difficulty catching their breath, particularly during physical activities, may be suffering from iron deficiency. Since iron is crucial for oxygen transport in the body, low levels mean the muscles and tissues aren’t receiving a sufficient supply, which leads to fatigue and breathlessness.

The importance of iron deficiency testing

It goes without saying that these symptoms may be a sign of an iron deficiency but could also be the result of other health conditions, so making an assumption without proper iron testing is inappropriate. Fortunately, determining if a customer has an iron deficiency is straightforward with our easy-to-use home test kits. Early detection is key to effectively managing and treating ferritin deficiency, so stocking our test kits in your pharmacy gives customers greater control over their own health and management.

Tips for successful finger-prick blood tests include:
  • Avoid using the thumb or index finger, as the test is more likely to be painful.
  • Warming the finger first to improve circulation.
  • Placing the device against the side of the finger rather than the top.
  • Allowing the blood to drip naturally from the finger rather than attempting to squeeze it out, as excess pressure can burst the red blood cells and produce an inaccurate result.
  • Check the colour card provided to interpret your results.
Technical Specifications

  • Test type: Qualitative rapid immunoassay for ferritin in human whole blood (finger-stick).

  • Sample type: Capillary blood obtained via finger-prick using the included lancet.

  • Result time: Approximately 5 minutes.

  • Intended use: Screening for low ferritin/iron deficiency; not a full diagnostic tool, and abnormal results should be confirmed by medical professionals.

  • Format: Self-test kit including cassette and lancet (and presumably additional accessories such as a capillary tube, instructions).

Staying on top of your vitamins
Vitamins play a crucial role in maintaining various bodily functions, so deficiencies can lead to a host of health issues, from dry eyes and fatigue to joint pain and impaired cognitive function. This is why it’s essential for individuals to have easy access to self-test kits that allow them to monitor their vitamin levels, so that appropriate action can be taken should a deficiency be detected. At-home vitamin deficiency test kits offer exceptional convenience and efficiency, enabling individuals to monitor their health at a time and place that suits their needs.
Vit D Deficiency

When the winter months approach in the northern hemisphere, fewer hours of daylight are inevitable, leaving many people struggling with a common yet often underestimated health problem: vitamin D deficiency. Due to the lack of sunshine in a country that is hardly renowned for its weather, it is estimated that more than one-quarter of people in the UK suffer from a deficiency in vitamin D in winter, leading to a range of potential consequences, including weakened bones, mood changes, and a reduced immune system.

How to Accurately Finger-Prick Yourself for Vitamin Deficiency

Checking for a vitamin deficiency at home, for example, using a vitamin D test, is a simple, painless, and convenient process. However, it’s not uncommon for individuals to feel apprehensive, especially if they are testing for the first time, as they may be concerned about making a mistake or even injuring themselves. Fortunately, once you’ve mastered the technique, your confidence will soar, and conducting vitamin deficiency tests at home will quickly become second nature.

So, what steps should you take to ensure an at-home vitamin deficiency test is carried out accurately and safely?
Gather the necessary supplies

Before you commence the test, ensure you have all the necessary items close at hand. Typically, this will include the test kit, a sterile lancet, an alcohol swab, and any other materials specified in the kit’s instructions. Using the timer function on your phone to time results, as well as having everything within reach, simplifies the process and reduces any potential stress or confusion.

Follow the time guidelines

Adherence to time guidelines is crucial to obtain accurate results. Each Suresign test kit will have specific instructions on how long to wait before applying the blood sample to the test card or strip. It’s important not to rush this process. Collect the blood sample as instructed and apply it to the test medium within the recommended timeframe to ensure the integrity of the sample and the accuracy of the test results.

Use a sterile lancet

The key to a successful finger-prick test is to use the sterile lancet provided in the kit, which is designed to make a tiny cut on the side of your fingertip to obtain a blood sample. The side of the fingertip is recommended as it’s less sensitive compared to the fingertip pad, so it is less likely to be painful, even for a moment. Follow the instructions carefully to minimise discomfort and ensure you collect an adequate blood sample for the test to avoid having to repeat the test with a different finger.

Prepare the testing site

Select a clean, well-lit area in which to perform the test. A kitchen table or a desk in a well-lit room can be ideal. Ensure the surface is clean and flat to set up your testing materials. Wash your hands with warm water to increase blood flow to your fingers, making the blood sample collection easier.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a significant chronic health condition, with 4.3 million officially diagnosed cases in the UK, and an estimated 5 million people living with diabetes, when undiagnosed cases are included. Of these, Type 2 diabetes is the most common form, accounting for over 90% of all adult cases. While the disease predominantly affects people over the age of 40, an estimated 148,000 younger people also have the condition.

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the human body metabolizes glucose, arising from insulin resistance. As the disease progresses, the body’s cells become resistant to the effects of insulin, which means that more insulin is needed to help glucose enter the cells. There are various causes of the disease, including pancreatic dysfunction, lifestyle factors such as obesity or poor diet, and family history. Unlike Type 1 diabetes, in which the body does not produce insulin, people with Type 2 diabetes do produce insulin, but the body does not use it effectively. Type 2 diabetes can often be managed through lifestyle changes, e.g. by avoiding excessively sugary food. However, people with Type 1 diabetes usually require a daily insulin injection, combined with regular testing.

A rapidly escalating diabetes crisis

With diabetes cases at an all-time high in the UK, Diabetes UK has warned that the country is in the grip of a ‘rapidly escalating diabetes crisis’. What is most worrying about these figures is the implication that 700,000 or more people experience symptoms of diabetes without an official diagnosis or medical support. Unfortunately, many of the early symptoms of diabetes are easy to overlook or may be confused with another condition. These include chronic fatigue, regular feelings of hunger or thirst, and frequent urination. If unmanaged, diabetes can trigger various medical complications, including nerve damage in the legs and feet, kidney damage, circulatory issues, and a heightened risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. The tragedy of diabetes is that the disease is so easy to pick up, and once diagnosed, can usually be successfully self-managed with minimal medical intervention. Self-testing kits, such as the one we offer at Suresign, can be accessed through pharmacies and give patients a fast and convenient way of taking ownership of their health. Our advice to anyone who is concerned about diabetes or who has symptoms that match those of the disease is to get themselves tested as quickly as possible, for their long-term health and peace of mind.

Before the sterilization process of medical equipment and surgical instruments, there is a prewashing procedure. By the means of this procedure, blood residues remaining on especially surgical instruments that cause cross infection is surely cleaned. After Washing/Disinfection steps, there might be some residues or contaminants left in varying colors that can be observed. It is very essential to identify if the residue is of blood or corrosion, in order to carry out sterilization properly or otherwise to dispose the equipment. This blood residue test developed in our laboratories is an indicator which changes color only with a specific enzyme in the blood. By using this test, it is very easy to identify trace amounts of blood. Without a need of long incubation time, our test is able to identify up to~0.1micrograms of blood in residue, faster than any other test methods, that is as short as 10 seconds
