Iron Self-Test

Iron is used for the convenient and straightforward self-testing of ferritin at home. Testing for ferritin is widely used in the medical profession to understand iron stores in blood.

This iron test produces results in minutes from a small fingerpick of blood. The user steps are extremely easy, making the test ideal for regular testing at home. All components are provided. Clear instructions guide you through the testing process.

Consult a doctor if you get a negative result or if have any concerns about low ferritin or iron deficiency.

This ferritin home blood test is manufactured under internationally recognised quality management systems, ISO 13485.

This test detects ferritin, a blood protein that stores iron. Doctors use ferritin blood tests to check the levels of stored iron. Low blood ferritin indicates the depletion of iron and can be used to help diagnose iron deficiency anaemia. Low iron levels or iron deficiency can lead to a reduction of red blood cells (cells that carry oxygen). Meaning blood carries less oxygen than normal for adequate tissue oxygenation (when oxygen molecules enter human tissues that make up organs or other body parts). As a result, 

Low ferritin may also indicate hypothyroidism, vitamin C deficiency or coeliac disease. 

Undiagnosed or untreated iron deficiency anaemia may cause serious complications such as fatigue, headaches, restless legs syndrome, heart problems, pregnancy complications, and developmental delays in children.
