FABER® for Allergy Diagnosis
-
FABER is an in vitro test for the measurement of specific IgE in human sera (www.caam-allergy.com/en/faber).
- It allows the estimation of allergic sensitization towards 244 allergens, all analyzed at the same time in a single test.
- FABER is a comprehensive test including all the most important allergy markers, in addition to exclusive allergens not available on the market because they are prepared in the IBBR laboratories.
- It is the only allergy diagnostic system with a centralized execution allowing an expert evaluation and interpretation of the results and production of the medical report in the requested language.
- An important issue in high throughput testing systems is the production of a great number of results that are difficult to be handled and interpreted. To address this problem and with the aim of helping patients to understand better their allergies, FABER can rely on a new electronic tool: the CAAM Digital Reporting System (CDRS). CDRS is accessible from personal computers, tablets and smart phones, giving an online dynamic visualization of the individual’s own allergy test result, allowing patients and physicians to deal with the hundreds of results and related information simply by touching the screen. In addition, a professional version of this tool, the CDRS PRO, has recently been released offering information, tutorials, and examples of rare allergy cases to specialists.
- FABER is a unique tool allowing a dynamic visualization of the allergy test results linked to the ALLERGOME database (www.allergome.org/), which is continuously updated with new scientific knowledge.
- The results obtained with the FABER test are collected and stored in the INTERALL database, constituting a huge source of scientific data allowing epidemiological analysis at a global level.
- In summary, FABER is a “cutting-edge” system enabling a personalized diagnosis, allowing the application of precision medicine and information technology to allergy diagnosis and contributing to the increase of knowledge in the allergology field.
