MediSure Vitamin D Rapid Test Kit comes as a rapid test kit, including a test cassette, lancet, dropper, alcohol prep pad, buffer, and color chart. Please wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry them completely before doing the test. Remove the cap from the lancet. Gently press the lancet against the side of your fingertip. Massage your finger to encourage blood flow. Touch the tip of the dropper to the blood drop. The blood should be drawn into the dropper by capillary action. Place the test cassette on a clean, flat surface. Gently squeeze the dropper to dispense the blood into the sample well (marked "S") on the cassette. Unscrew the cap of the buffer bottle. Add two drops of buffer to the buffer well (marked "B") on the cassette. Wait for 10 minutes. Compare the color intensity of the test line (T) to the color chart provided in the kit to determine your vitamin D level. You can then interpret the results. The result is deficient if the test line (T) is equal to or darker than the 10 ng/mL line on the color chart. The vitamin D level is insufficient if the test line (T) is darker than the 30 ng/mL line on the color chart but lighter than the 10 ng/mL line.
