WHAT?

At-home sample collection device for measuring levels of specific IgE antibodies in your child’s blood that are elevated if they are allergic to one or more of 11 common allergens that can cause eczema. Laboratory results are provided within 5 days.

WHY?

Allergies are becoming increasingly common. Often, reactions are the result of the immune system’s response to a false alarm (thinking an allergen is a bacteria or virus). To remove the threat, the immune system triggers a reaction. Allergic eczema causes itchy, red and/or dry skin that can be very painful.

WHO?

An eczema panel is an easy way to confirm a suspected allergy. Exposure to allergens should be prevented to avoid the discomforts of skin reactions.

HOW?

This sample kit contains a heel-prick blood collection device, along with clear instructions. Samples collected at home are couriered to and tested at the BioSmart accredited pathology laboratory.

Blood is tested for the following IgE antibodies that react to: Cross-reactive Carbohydrate Determinant (CCD), Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus (House Dust Mite), Cat Epithelia and Dog Epithelia (Dander), Latex, Egg White, Codfish, Soybean, Peanut, Hazelnut and Cacao (Chocolate).

The amount of each IgE antibody is measured which gives insight into the severity of the allergic reaction. Your eczema report will come in an easy-to-understand format with a detailed explanation of results, what they mean and your next steps.
