Ferri-Check®

Self-testing device for the detection of iron deficiency in blood.

Iron deficiency occurs when blood does not contain enough red cells and thus low levels of hemoglobin which is a major protein involved in oxygen transport in whole body. An important component of haemoglobin is iron.

Depletion in iron, which can happen during pregnancy, growth, in case of insufficient iron intake, inadequate absorption or blood loss (periods, abnormal bleedings, ulcers…etc) have tremendous effects on health.

Caution: This test is not appropriated for patient suspected of or suffering from hemochromatosis.

The FERRI-Check is a rapid immunodiagnostic test for the assessment of ferritin (a protein capable of storing iron in cells) from finger prick whole blood sample. Therefore FERRI-Checkâ could be used for the screening of potential iron deficiency.
