Iron Deficiency Day 2025

Iron Deficiency Day 2025: Strengthening Early Detection with the MEK-9200 Hematology Analyzer from Nihon Kohden Europe

Iron Deficiency Day 2025 highlights a condition that affects millions but often goes unnoticed until symptoms become severe. Iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia are among the most common nutritional and clinical deficiencies worldwide, contributing to fatigue, reduced cognitive performance, impaired immunity, and diminished quality of life.

Early detection remains the most effective way to prevent complications — and laboratory diagnostics play a central role. This is where the Celltac G+ MEK-9200 Hematology Analyzer from Nihon Kohden Europe becomes an essential tool for accurate, fast, and reliable diagnosis.

The Importance of Early Testing

Iron deficiency frequently presents with subtle or non-specific symptoms such as:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Pale skin
• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness
• Reduced performance and concentration

Because these symptoms overlap with many other conditions, laboratory testing is the only reliable way to detect iron deficiency early. Measuring hemoglobin, red blood cell indices, and complete blood count (CBC) parameters is essential for identifying:

• Decreased hemoglobin
• Microcytosis (low MCV)
• Hypochromia
• Increased RDW
• Early changes in red blood cell morphology

Celltac G+ (MEK-9200) — Supporting Accurate Diagnosis

Nihon Kohden’s Celltac G+ (MEK-9200) Hematology Analyzer is designed to support clinicians and laboratories with dependable results and an efficient workflow.

Reliable CBC in Minutes

The MEK-9200 delivers fast and accurate complete blood count results, allowing clinicians to quickly identify hemoglobin levels and red cell indices that are key markers for iron deficiency.

High Stability and Precision

Consistent performance ensures trustworthy data — crucial when monitoring changes over time or comparing values across multiple patient visits.

Easy Operation, Small Footprint

Its user-friendly interface and compact design make it suitable for outpatient clinics, GP practices, and small to medium laboratories that need reliable hematology diagnostics without complexity.

Cost-Effective and Efficient

Low maintenance needs, reliable reagents, and efficient workflow reduce operational costs while supporting high-quality patient care.

A Strong Ally for Iron Deficiency Screening

The MEK-9200 provides clinicians with the diagnostic confidence needed to detect iron deficiency earlier with the addition of Mentzer Index and RDWI as reportable parameters, guide treatment decisions, and monitor therapy effectiveness.

With clear hematological indicators and fast turnaround time, the MEK-9200 supports better patient outcomes and optimized clinical workflows.
