1 pipette for blood sampling
1 cleanser gauze
instructions for use
USE PROCEDURE
Draw a blood sample by using the sterile lancet provided;
Collect the sample indicated with the black line by using the capillary pipette provided;
Deposit the collected specimen into the sample well (S) indicated on the test cassette;
RESULTS INTERPRETATION
Negative - ferritin levels in the blood are above 30 ng/mL. Cases where the ferritin concentration is just below this value (27 ng/mL-29 ng/mL) can give a similar result.
Positive - ferritin value in blood is lower than the cut-off, it is necessary to consult your doctor.
