Iron Deficiency Test
The Iron Deficiency Test by FERRI-CHECK® is a convenient home screening kit designed to assess ferritin levels in whole blood. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body, and low levels may indicate reduced iron reserves.
Iron deficiency is common in women of reproductive age, growing children, and during pregnancy. As a result, symptoms such as fatigue, paleness, headaches, shortness of breath, and a faster heartbeat may develop gradually. However, these signs often go unnoticed until levels become significantly depleted.
This Iron Deficiency Test provides a rapid way to screen iron storage levels using a simple finger-prick blood sample.
Why Iron Levels Matter
Iron plays a key role in haemoglobin production. Because haemoglobin carries oxygen throughout the body, low iron levels may affect energy, concentration, and physical endurance.
Iron depletion may occur due to:
• Heavy menstrual cycles
• Pregnancy
• Rapid growth phases
• Insufficient dietary intake
• Poor absorption
• Blood loss
By identifying potential low ferritin levels early, individuals can seek appropriate medical evaluation and support.

How This Home Iron Deficiency Test Works
First, collect a small blood sample using the sterile lancet provided. Next, transfer the blood into the test device using the pipette. Then, add the diluent solution as instructed.
After approximately 10 minutes, review the result window. A visible control line confirms that the test has functioned correctly. Do not interpret results after 15 minutes.
Note: This test is not suitable for individuals suspected of or diagnosed with haemochromatosis.
