Prima Home - Model 100066-1 - Vitamin D Test
Rapid self-test for the semi-quantitative detection of vitamin D in human whole blood. Vitamin D belongs to a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing the intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc. Blood concentration of vitamin D is considered the best indicator of the level of vitamin D in the body. Nowadays, vitamin D deficiency is recognized as a worldwide epidemic. This has been linked to several severe diseases: osteoporosis, osteomalacia, cardiovascular diseases, complications in pregnancy, diabetes, depression, autoimmune diseases, flu, infectious diseases and more. For this reason, the detection of vitamin D levels is now considered as a “medically necessary screening test”.
VITAMIN D TEST is intended for people who are commonly at risk of vitamin D deficiency, such as those who get tired and weary easily, have poor sun exposure, have a limited oral intake or an impaired intestinal absorption.
Maintaining sufficiently high levels of vitamin D is necessary to improve bone health, as well as the overall health and well-being of the body. The main symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include: fatigue, tiredness, muscle weakness, bone and/or joint pain.
VITAMIN D TEST is an immunoassay based on the principle of competitive protein binding, capable of showing an excessive, sufficient, insufficient or deficient level of vitamin D in blood.

- 1 vial with dropper containing the diluent
- 2 sterile lancets
- 1 pipette for blood sampling
- 1 cleanser gauze
- 1 comparative card
- instructions for use
- Draw a blood sample using the sterile lancet provided;

- Deposit the collected sample inside the well (S) indicated on the cassette;
- Add 2 drops of diluent and wait 10 minutes before reading the result, comparing the lines obtained with the card provided.
- Excessive (> 100 ng/mL): no clear lines appear at the test line region (T). You need to consult your doctor.
- Sufficient (30-100 ng/mL): the intensity of the test line (T) is equal to or less than that of the 30 ng/mL displayed on the color card.
- Insufficient (30-10 ng/mL): the intensity of the test line (T) is darker than the 30 ng/mL line and lighter than the 10 ng/mL line displayed on the color card.
- Deficit (0-10 ng/mL): the intensity of the test line (T) is equal to or darker than the 10 ng/mL line displayed on the color card. You need to consult your doctor.
