Suresign Iron Deficiency Ferritin Test

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. 

1. Wash your hands with soap and rinse with clear warm water.
2. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Open the foil pouch and remove the cassette.
3. Carefully pull off and dispose of the released cap of the lancet.
4. Use the provided alcohol pad to clean the fingertip of the middle or ring finger as the puncture site. Allow to air dry.
5. Press the lancet, on the side from where the cap was extracted; against the fingertip. The tip retracts automatically and safely after use.
6. Keeping the hand down massage the end of the finger that was pricked to obtain a blood drop.
7. Without squeezing the capillary dropper bulb, put it in contact with the blood. The blood migrates into the capillary dropper through the capillarity to the line indicated on the capillary dropper.

You may massage again your finger to obtain more blood if the line is not reached. As far as possible, avoid air bubbles.

8. Put the blood collected into the sample well of the cassette, by squeezing the dropper bulb.
9. Wait for the blood to be totally dispensed in the well. Unscrew the cap of the buffer bottle and add 1 drop of buffer into the sample well of the cassette.
10. Wait for the coloured line(s) to appear. Read results at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
