No more guesswork. Get a more holistic view of a patient’s allergic triggers with ImmunoCAP™ Specific IgE tests. Test for a selection of more than 500 allergens, allergen components, and allergen mixes + help your patients manage their symptoms better.
Ready or not, here they come. Your waiting room will soon be filled with patients begging you to please, please find out what’s causing their allergies. Like, right now.
Yep, allergy season is almost here. Pollen, grass, ragweed—all the big hitters. But without knowing the source of a patient’s allergies, it’s impossible to offer relief.
Fortunately, there’s an allergy blood test that’s been changing the game for a long time—and now’s your chance to get on board. Pinpoint the cause of your patients’ symptoms once and for all with ImmunoCAPTM Specific IgE testing. It’s the only allergy test on the market that tests for a selection of more than 500 allergens, allergen components, and allergen mixes.
What are you waiting for? Let’s start collecting some clues and finally solve the mystery of what’s causing a patient’s allergies.
Exhibit A: Sneezes, sniffles, and a really stubborn cough
Did you know that 30% of adults and 40% of children suffer from rhinitis, yet a whopping 89% of patients never get tested? Oh, and 81% don’t get tested for allergic asthma either. Many patients receive treatment for their allergy symptoms without ever discovering the underlying cause.
Why is that? Maybe because clinicians don’t know there is convenient, accurate, easy-to-use blood testing that helps them give patients the information they need. Unlike skin-prick testing (but equivalent in clinical value), specific IgE blood testing can be performed in patients of any age regardless of health status or current medications, like antihistamines.
Enter: Your solution in respiratory allergy diagnosis
ImmunoCAP Specific IgE tests are answering the call. This testing can help you connect the dots between a patient’s symptoms, their sensitizations, and the molecules they’re reacting to. Along with an individual’s clinical history, this information helps optimize care for specific allergic triggers.
What makes specific IgE testing so good? It's got many benefits, including:
- the ability to help distinguish between allergic and non-allergic rhinitis
- efficient, cost-effective respiratory profiles
- zero risk of anaphylaxis to the patient (unlike skin-prick testing)
And that’s just a few of the many benefits of ImmunoCAP Specific IgE tests. They also help you uncover information that can help tailor your patient’s management plan, thanks to allergen component testing.
Combined with your patients’ symptoms and clinical history, the information you get from allergen component testing will give you a greater understanding of exactly which proteins your patients are reacting to—and ultimately help you improve your patients’ quality of life.
Examine the evidence and catch the culprit
Now that you’ve chosen a partner to help you make sense of patients’ allergic symptoms, let’s figure out the best way to work with that partner.
The Lab Ordering Guide (LOG) helps you search for allergy profile test codes with confidence. Just enter your zip code and select the profile type. You’ll get access to personalized results based on location, clinically optimal profiles, and preferred lab to find the most relevant diagnostic tests.
Fortunately, you don’t have to decipher these test results alone. You can get interpretation guides for a patient’s test results that can inform their treatment plan. These guides contain crucial info, such as diagnostic and management considerations.
And that’s how you catch the culprit of a patient’s allergies.
Case closed
Don’t rely on guesswork or a lot of tiny pricks this allergy season.
Use the LOG to help order ImmunoCAP Specific IgE blood tests—and interpretation guides to help make sense of your patient's results.
With the right testing (combined with a patient’s clinical history), you’ll get a more holistic view of an individual’s allergies and triggers—empowering you to better manage their symptoms and, ultimately, provide the best care.
