Frequently asked questions: Ferritin [iron] & Vitamin D rapid self-test kits

What types of rapid self-tests do you offer?

  • We currently offer the Ferritin [iron] and Vitamin D rapid self-test kits to the Australian market
  • New tests will be added periodically, so stay tuned for updates
  • For any suggestions for new or innovative tests, contact us via the chat feature or contact form at www.omatec.com.au

For whom are these tests?

  • The ferritin [iron] rapid self-test is for men, women and children of all ages, but it is most crucial for women still undergoing menstruation and suffering heavy blood loss, as well as children [ages 3-12] and adolescents [ages 13-19] who lack sufficient levels of iron due to poor dietary-intake of iron-rich foods [particularly red meats and poultry]
  • The vitamin D rapid self-test is for those who are suffering from the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency or toxicity, or have suffered these in the past - especially those who are not receiving adequate sun exposure

Why should I take these tests?

  • Iron deficiency, with or without concurrent anaemia, affects ~30% of the global population, making it the second-most widespread nutrient deficiency 
  • Despite the high physiological importance, deficiency of vitamin D is commonly reported around the world. Studies suggest that around one billion people worldwide suffer from vitamin D deficiency and approximately 50% of the world’s population are vitamin D insufficient, making it the number one blood deficiency in the world

Can’t I go to my GP or medical practitioner to have these done?

  • Of course, you absolutely can go to your GP or medical practitioner for a detailed pathology report for ferritin and vitamin D levels in your blood, but
  • When having suspicions of being iron or vitamin D deficient, or having excessively high levels of vitamin D, instead of taking time off of work to see a GP to acquire a pathology request for the necessary blood test, taking even more time off to have the test done before waiting 2-3 days for the results to be delivered and given to you by your GP - take these simple tests and find out now if a visit to the doctor is required

What is so special about these tests? What makes them unique?

  • What’s special about these tests is that you can obtain accurate results within 5-10 minutes from the comfort of your own home.

  • Yes, our tests satisfy the strict criteria imposed by the Therapeutic Goods Administration [TGA] - the Australian government authority responsible for assessing, evaluating and monitoring products defined as ‘therapeutic goods’  

Is a prescription needed to purchase these test kits and are they available to buy at a pharmacy?

  • No, a doctor's or pharmacist's prescription is not needed to acquire and use our test kits
  • No, the test kits are currently only available on OMATEC Solutions' official store and official eBay store

How often should I take a rapid self-test?

  • For both the ferritin and vitamin D tests, these should be done at least once or twice a year to ensure sufficient, stable levels of both biomarkers
  • For those suffering from iron deficiency anaemia [IDA] or other iron abnormalities, taking the ferritin test on a monthly basis will be optimal
  • For those suffering from vitamin D deficiency or toxicity, or have suffered from these in the past - taking the vitamin D test every 2 or 3 months will be optimal
