Allergy Self Diagnostic Test
The Allergy Self Diagnostic Test by ALLERGY-CHECK® is a convenient home screening kit that detects elevated Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in whole blood. IgE commonly links to allergic sensitivity caused by substances such as pollen, animal hair, feathers, or certain foods.
This finger-prick blood test allows you to screen for allergy-related immune responses from home. Because the process is simple and quick, many individuals choose it for early screening. Results appear within 10 minutes, so you can review the outcome without long waiting times.
Who May Consider This Allergy Self Diagnostic Test?
Allergic reactions can develop at any stage of life. For example, children, teenagers, and adults may all experience sensitivity depending on environmental exposure and genetic factors.
Common symptoms include:
• Skin redness
• Rash
• Watery or irritated eyes
• Repetitive sneezing
• Mild swelling (oedema)
However, these symptoms often resemble seasonal colds or mild viral infections. Therefore, screening IgE levels may help you decide whether further medical evaluation is appropriate.

How This Home Allergy Screening Kit Works
First, you collect a small blood sample using the sterile lancet provided. Next, you apply the blood to the test device and add the diluent solution. As a result, the device begins analysing the sample immediately.
After approximately 10 minutes, the result window displays the outcome. A control line confirms that the test has functioned correctly.
Although elevated IgE levels may suggest allergic sensitivity, only a qualified healthcare professional can confirm a diagnosis and recommend appropriate management.
Manufacturers produce this kit under European medical standards, and regulatory authorities approve it for use in South Africa. In addition, the product includes a NAPPI code for compliance purposes.
Storage and Safety
Store the kit between 4°C and 30°C. Do not freeze it. Do not reuse any components after testing. Keep the product out of reach of children, and use it only for in vitro diagnostic purposes.
