Vitamin D levels play an essential role in the absorption and retention of phosphorus and calcium in the human body, which are both imperative for building and maintaining bone strength. The SmarTest® Vitamin D by Preventis is a vitamin D blood test kit that reports vitamin D levels in as little as 20 minutes. Preventis have developed The SmarTest® Vitamin D to be simple, easy to use, and, most importantly, highly accurate for identifying excessive, sufficient, and insufficient vitamin D levels in the blood.

Key Advantages

The SmarTest® vitamin D blood test kit is a very simple-to-use system for measuring and monitoring vitamin D levels. It is ideal for measuring vitamin D levels in blood in a self-test or clinical setting, and it can accurately determine vitamin deficiency, insufficiency, optimal, and excessive levels anywhere.
Results from patients using the SmarTest® vitamin D blood test in a remote setting (e.g. at home) can be automatically transferred from the SmarTest® Vitamin D app to the healthcare team’s free online portal for remote monitoring of test results ensuring results are never missed.
As with any medical test, accuracy, and efficiency are of absolute paramount importance. The SmarTest® vitamin D blood test kit uses a finger-prick blood sample and has an incubation time of just 15 minutes. The entire process can be completed in around 20 minutes using the rapid immunochromatographic lateral-flow test and SmarTest app.
The two most common vitamers are D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol), and the SmarTest® vitamin D blood test kit can detect both. This 25 hydroxy vitamin D test kit was designed and manufactured to test and recognise 25(OH)­vitamin D2, 25(OH)­vitamin D3, 1,25(OH)2 ­vitamin D2 and 1,25(OH)2 ­vitamin D3.
Due to the meticulous and highly systematic way in which the SmarTest® vitamin D test kits were researched, designed, and manufactured, there is no cross-reactivity to 1,24(OH)2 vitamin D2, 1,24(OH)2 vitamin D3 or 3-epi-(OH) vitamin D3.
The SmarTest® vitamin D test kit results will not be negatively affected by the presence of bilirubin, triglycerides, cholesterol, vitamin B12 or vitamin C. The presence of bilirubin, which is a product of red blood cells breaking down, may indicate other issues, but test results will remain accurate.

The SmarTest® Vitamin D Blood Test Kit is Ideal for GPs, Pharmacies, and Outpatient Clinics

Preventis has developed this quantitative vitamin D level test kit with GPs, pharmacies, and outpatient clinics in mind. It is a straightforward finger-prick blood test that provides fast, efficient, and effective mobile testing with rapid diagnostic capabilities. With accuracy and speed, SmarTest Vitamin D enables doctors, pharmacists, and outpatient clinics to measure patients’ vitamin D levels in minutes at the point of care, enabling swift advice and treatment, such as dietary guidance and supplements.

 

Why Is Measuring 25(OH) Vitamin D Levels Important?

Between 20 ng/ml (50nmol/l) and 50 ng/ml (125nmol/l) is generally considered to be within an adequate healthy range for vitamin D levels. Having sufficient vitamin D is essential for regulating calcium and phosphate levels within the human body. The body requires these nutrients to maintain healthy bones, muscles, and teeth as well as maintaining immune, neural and cardiovascular function. A deficiency of vitamin D causes deformities in bones and can lead to rickets in children and osteomalacia (bone pain) in adults, and impair immune function leaving individuals susceptible to increased infection risk and autoimmune disorders.

Measuring vitamin D in the body using a 25 hydroxy vitamin D test helps determine any deficiencies so that a course of treatment can be administered. A vitamin D test is also suited to monitoring levels as a preventative measure too. The SmarTest® vitamin D blood test kit is the perfect testing system to implement at your medical centre, clinic, or practice, for testing patients’ vitamin D levels.

 

SmarTest® Vitamin D Level Test Kit Is An Ideal Lateral Flow Test For Home Use

Not only is the SmarTest® lateral flow vitamin D test kit great for practising medical professionals, but it is also perfect for individuals that wish to perform vitamin D blood tests at home, either for personal use or under the direction of their medical team in a remote testing setting. Some individuals may struggle to produce or assimilate enough vitamin D for several reasons, for example, little or no exposure to direct sunlight, lack of vitamin D in the diet, or intestinal disorder preventing absorption. Those with darker skin are at more risk, as are older adults, breastfeeding women, and those who are obese. Irrespective of the cause of deficiency the easy-to-use, rapid vitamin D test kit, can be performed at home delivering quantitative actionable results.

Vitamin D Blood Test FAQs

How are vitamin D levels measured?

Vitamin D is measured from a blood sample using a 25 hydroxy vitamin D lateral flow test. Blood is drawn from a finger-prick blood sample for in-vitro diagnosis via the lateral flow test, quantified by the SmarTest® smartphone app.

Are vitamin D tests accurate?

The 25 hydroxy vitamin D test is the most accurate indicator of vitamin D levels for those at particular risk, but as with all diagnostic tests, conclusions should not be made based on a single test result. The tests are highly accurate if used correctly and the kit is used within the expiration date printed on the box.

What blood test measures vitamin D?

The most common blood test used to measure vitamin D levels in the human body is called a 25 hydroxy vitamin D test. Using the SmarTest® Vitamin D only takes around 20 minutes from starting the test to getting results and this facilitates measuring vitamin D levels in blood in a near-patient test.

How does a lateral flow vitamin D level test kit work?

The Preventis SmarTest® vitamin D test kit is an immunological rapid lateral flow test that determines 25 OH vitamin D from a blood sample using specific antibodies. You only need a few drops of capillary blood taken using the lancet and capillary tube provided. You use a smartphone app to read results. The phone camera scans the red coloured lines on the lateral flow test device. The test line intensity is used to quantify the amount of 25 OH Vitamin D in the sample so that high, optimal, or low vitamin D levels can be identified.

What is a normal vitamin D level?

There are three main categories of 25-OH Vitamin D levels: deficient (<12 ng/ml / <30nmol/l), insufficient (12-20ng/ml / 30-50nmol/l), sufficient (>20ng/ml / 50nmol/l), although a fourth category – ‘high’ is sometimes used when 25-OH vitamin d is in excess. >20ng/ml (>50nmol/l) is considered sufficient for the majority of the population.

How do I receive the vitamin D test results?

The result of the SmarTest Vitamin D is displayed in the app immediately after testing. If the app is connected to the healthcare team’s online web portal, results can also be immediately viewed in the patient’s record.
