The Human Ferritin Rapid Test Device (Whole blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of human Ferritin in human whole blood, serum and plasma. The membrane is pre‐coated with anti‐ferritin antibody on the test line region of the strip. During testing, the specimen reacts with the particle coated with anti‐ferritin antibody. The mixture

migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with anti‐ferritin antibody on the membrane and generate a colored line. The presence of this colored

line in the test region indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region

indicating that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.

For professional in vitro diagnostic use only. Do not use after expiration date.

• ● The test device should remain in the sealed pouch until use.
• ● Do not eat, drink or smoke in the area where the specimens or kits are handled.
• ● Do not use if pouch is damaged.
• ● Handle all specimens as if they contain infectious agents. Observe established precautionsagainst microbiological hazards throughout the procedure and follow the standard proceduresfor proper disposal of specimens.
• ● Wear protective clothing such as laboratory coats, disposable gloves or eye protection whenspecimens are being tested.
• ● Humidity and temperature can adversely affect results.

Allow test device, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room temperature (15‐30°C)  prior to testing. 
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test device from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. 
2. Place the test device on a clean and level surface. 
For Whole Blood, Serum or Plasma specimens: 
Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 2 drops of specimen (or approximately 50 µL) to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 1 drop of buffer and start the timer. 
For Fingerstick Whole Blood specimens: 
To use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube and transfer approximately 50 µL (or 2 drops) of fingerstick whole blood specimen to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 1 drop of buffer and start the timer. 
3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10 minutes. Do not interpret results after 20 minutes.
