The World's First Rapid Anemia Screen

The New BioSafe Anemia Screen is the first disposable blood test for the detection of anemia. It's both FDA approved and CLIA waived, and delivers the accuracy of a standard laboratory blood test, but without the needle and without an office wait. A few drops of blood from a simple finger-nick is all it takes. After a short wait of 15-20 minutes the result is read from the scale. and the easy to read step-by-step "placemat" instructions make the entire process as easy as 1-2-3!

QUICK - CONVENIENT - ACCURATE - AFFORDABLE

Anemia is a serious blood condition identified by a lower than normal of red blood cells. Millions of undiagnosed cases go untreated each year. Risk factors include:

Understanding Anemia

Three types of cells make up the blood in our bodies, they are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.  Red blood cells contain hemoglobin (Hb), which carries oxygen from the lungs to every cell in the body.  Oxygen provides the energy needed by all the body’s muscles and organs.  Anemia occurs when the number of red blood cells (or the Hb in them) drops below normal levels and can no longer supply the body with the oxygen it needs to function properly.

Anemia, if not treated, can become a very serious condition, even leading to life-threatening complications.  When the number of red blood cells in the body decreases, the heart works harder, pumping more blood to send more oxygen throughout the body.  If the heart works too hard, it can develop a rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), and/or another serious condition known as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).  LVH is an enlargement of the heart muscle that in turn can lead to heart failure. There are nearly 100 different types of anemia with many causes.

Because there are so many types of anemia (almost 100), only a qualified physician can determine for sure.
 
The more common types: The more common causes are:
  • Iron deficiency anemia
  • Vitamin deficiency anemia
  • Sickle cell anemia
  • Pernicious anemia
  • Aplastic anemia
  • Hemolytic anemia

 

  • A vitamin or iron deficiency
  • A serious disease
  • Significant blood loss
  • Side effects of prescriptions drugs
  • Genetic or acquired defects or disease

If your Anemia Meter shows that you are anemic, don't wait!  Contact your physician immediately for further evaluation and treatment

Is Anemia Treatable?

Anemia is definitely treatable, but the sooner it is discovered, the better.

The treatment for anemia must be based on its cause.   For example, to treat iron deficiency anemia caused by a poor diet, daily iron supplements would probably be prescribed as well as recommendations for a change in the diet. If the iron deficiency was caused by blood loss of one sort or another, medical treatment to prevent further loss would be required.

In the case of vitamin deficiency anemia (vitamin B12 or folic acid), treatment would probably include injections or oral supplements.  In addition, after reviewing the patient’s dietary history, the physician might require changes in the diet to aid the vitamin replacements.   Changes in certain medications might also be in order.

If the anemia is associated with a chronic disease, monitoring and treatment of the anemia would become part of the physicians overall disease management plan in order to avoid complications.

In severe cases of anemia, drug therapy or even blood transfusions might need to be administered.
