SelfCheck Allergy Test

A simple and reliable finger prick blood spot health check that shows if your allergy antibody levels (Immunoglobulin E) are normal or high

Allergy symptoms are often confused with the symptoms of bacterial or viral infections such as rashes, sneezing, sore throat, cough and runny nose.

Allergies are a major trigger of hay fever (rhinitis), eczema, asthma and food sensitivity. People with allergy sensitivities can produce high levels of allergy antibodies in their blood known as immunoglobulin E (IgE).

The SELFCheck Allergy Test is a general test that shows whether the levels of immunoglobuin E antibodies (total IgE) in your blood is higher than normal. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that not everyone with allergies will have a high total IgE level.

If you do have a higher than normal IgE antibody level and/or symptoms that you think might be allergy related, speak with your doctor who can arrange for skin testing or further blood tests to pin-point which specific allergens could be triggering your symptoms.

You don't need to be having symptoms at the the time you do your test.

The SELFCheck Allergy Test is a rapid immunodiagnostic self test kit for the detection of high IgE levels, from a finger prick blood sample, giving a result in just 10 minutes.

• 1 test device, 1 plastic pipette and 1 desiccant pouch

• 2 sterile lancets to obtain a blood sample
  
• 1 instruction leaflet
