Sanguina announced FDA clearance of AnemoCheck Home, a home hemoglobin test kit. AnemoCheck Home is a test designed to allow individuals with anemia due to nutritional deficiency (iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, and folate deficiency anemia), sickle cell disease, and thalassemia to monitor their hemoglobin levels in the comfort of their own homes. The test is an in vitro diagnostic device and will be available by prescription only, ensuring appropriate medical oversight and guidance.
Anemia, a condition marked by a shortage of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin, affects over 1.92 billion individuals worldwide. Acknowledging the pressing need for accessible and reliable testing, AnemoCheck Home is an innovative solution for detecting and monitoring anemia for those who need it most.
AnemoCheck Home allows users to obtain accurate hemoglobin level readings by conducting a simple fingerstick blood test. The user performs a finger stick, collects blood into a sample collection tube, and then connects the test cap with a test body. The user then shakes the test to mix the blood. After 2 minutes, the color correlates to a hemoglobin level on a color card. The test is disposable and does not require any additional equipment.
AnemoCheck Home leverages the latest advancements in healthcare technology, ensuring reliable and precise results to empower users to take control of their anemia management. The kit includes user-friendly instructions, and everything needed to perform the fingerstick test safely and efficiently.
