Ferri-Check® Swiss Point of Care

GENERAL POINTS

Anaemia due to iron depletion is widely held in children and women of all ages but mainly in women who still have their period (at least 20% suffer iron deficiency). Main signs as paleness, feeling tired, headaches, faster heartbeat or shortness of breath during exercise appear gradually and could go unnoticed. Therefore, it is important to determine if the available iron is sufficient for the body’s needs.

Iron deficiency occurs when blood does not contain enough red cells and thus low levels of haemoglobin 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.

FERRI-Check® is a manual qualitative immunochromatographic screening test for the assessment of ferritin level (a protein capable of storing iron) in finger prick whole blood sample. It can be used at home by lay users for self-testing for the detection of potential iron deficiency.

How to use the Ferri-Check® Swiss Point of Care

Prepare everything properly before starting the testing procedure. Place the content of the box on a clean, dry and flat surface (e.g. table). Then perform the test as follows:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly. Use soap and warm water. Dry your hand with clean towel.

2. Prepare the test device and capillary pipette: Take them out from the protective pouch (tear at the notch) and place them in the reach of your hands (you will need them later). Discard the desiccant bag.

3. Prepare the lancet. Hold the lancet without touching the trigger button. Unlock the cap twisting it off ¼ turn until you feel it separates from the lancet and then continue twisting it (2-3 rotations). Don’t pull just twist and discard the cap when finished. ①②

4. Clean the end of the middle or ring finger with cotton damped with alcohol. Massage the chosen finger towards the tip for 10 to 15 seconds to enhance the blood flow.

5. Prick the finger: put the lancet firmly against the side of the previously cleaned finger, and press the release trigger button.③ The lancet will automatically retract into the body of the device. Gently massage the finger to create a nice round blood droplet.④

6. Collect the blood with the capillary pipette: Gently touch the blood droplet with the open end of the capillary pipette. It must be filled until the line indicated on the capillary pipette. Do not press the bulb, it fills by itself. Make another blood droplet if the line is not reached. As far as possible, avoid air bubbles. ⑤

7. Put the blood collected with the pipette into the sample well of the device, by pressing on the pipette bulb. ⑥

8. Wait 30-40 sec for the blood being totally absorbed into the sample well.

9. Add the diluent: Unscrew the blue cap of the diluent dropper vial (leave the white cap tightly screwed) and add the diluent as follows: Hold the diluent dropper vial vertically and slowly add exactly 4 drops in the sample well of the device with an interval of 2-3 seconds between each drop. ⑦

10. Read the result after 10 minutes. Do not interpret after 15 minutes.
