Overview

Allergen alert^™ is an important first step in assessing the extent of a patient’s exposure to the common indoor allergens. More importantly, knowing this information allows the physician to advise patients about informed and effective avoidance measures.

Test kit

Allergen alert^™ is a home allergen detection kit that is an affordable and easy-to-use way to determine the presence and level of eight of the most common allergens found in homes. Allergen alert^™ measures dust mite, cat, dog, cockroach, and four types of indoor molds. The test kit includes two specially designed dust collector traps for use with any vacuum hose attachment. After collecting dust samples from two separate areas of the house, the collector traps are sent postage-free to the Healthy Home Air allergy laboratory for analysis. Within two to three weeks the patient will receive a personalized home allergen dust analysis report which they can share with their physician.

Allergen report
The personalized house dust analysis provides an easy-to-read, graphic report illustrating the level of all eight allergens found in each dust sample collected. When appropriate, clinically and scientifically-tested steps for removing or reducing offending allergens are recommended in a logical, simple-tofollow format.
