Detailed Description

The BIOSAFE® Anemia Meter is a hand-held, one-time use, rapid response blood testing device that accurately checks for blood hemoglobin levels. The test provides you with an accurate, convenient, and inexpensive way to test for possible anemia in the comfort and safety of your home or office.

Low hemoglobin levels are associated with extreme weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, depression, rapid heart beat, and/or pale skin. People over 65, those who have had recent surgery, and HIV/AIDS patients are at increased risk. Additionally, people who have kidney disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, or heart disease should check their hemoglobin level regularly.

The specimen collection process is quick, easy and virtually painless. Using the special lancet (included with the BIOSAFE® Anemia Meter), one or more drops of blood are taken from a nick of a finger and deposited into the Anemia Meter. A view window indicates when the right amount of blood has been deposited, and a plunger is then pushed to start the testing process. The unit is then set aside. At the end of twenty minutes the window on the meter will give you your result. That's all there is to it! Quick - Convenient - Accurate.

Your result will be numerical - not just a simple “YES” or “NO”. If your result shows that you may be anemic, you can place the Anemia Meter in the provided plastic envelope and show it to your health care provider.

Note: An anemia test should be considered only one part of your overall health maintenance program.
