ABN: [TO BE ADDED]
Registered office: Suite 2080, 112 Snell Grove, Oak Park, VIC 3046, Australia
Email: hello@omega3index.com.au

Masdiag Pty Ltd is an Australian-registered company and is the TGA sponsor and manufacturer of the at-home dried blood spot test kit supplied through this website.

Therapeutic Goods Administration registration

Our at-home dried blood spot test kit is registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods:

  • ARTG entry: 526367
  • Classification: Medical Device, Class IIa
  • Product type: Procedure Pack (Phlebotomy kit)
  • Sponsor: Masdiag Pty Ltd, Oak Park, VIC 3046, Australia
  • Manufacturer: Masdiag Pty Ltd, Oak Park, VIC 3046, Australia

Intended purpose (as registered with the TGA)

The Masdiag Dried Blood Spot (DBS) Collection Kit is a procedure pack intended for use by healthcare professionals or self-collection by individuals to obtain capillary blood samples via fingerstick for subsequent laboratory analysis. The kit contains a sterile safety lancet for skin puncture, a CE-marked DBS collection card for sample deposition, alcohol swabs for skin preparation, a bandage, gauze, a desiccant pack and a biohazard return mailer. The collected dried blood spots are intended to be transported to an accredited clinical pathology laboratory for quantitative analysis of analytes such as fatty acid profiles, vitamin D, HbA1c and other biomarkers.

The kit is not intended to provide a diagnostic result at the point of collection; it is a sample collection device only.

Important health and clinical disclaimers

The Omega-3 Index Test service is an informational laboratory testing service. By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept the following:

  • The Service is not a diagnostic service. Test results provide measurements of fatty acid profile against established reference ranges, but do not diagnose any medical condition.
  • We do not provide medical advice. Information on this website and within reports is for educational and informational purposes only.
  • We do not prescribe or recommend treatments, supplements, or interventions specific to you. Decisions about supplementation, medication, or lifestyle changes should be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your personal medical history.
  • Test results should be interpreted in clinical context. A single test result is one data point among many.
  • The Service is not a substitute for emergency or urgent medical care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 000 (Australia) immediately.
  • The Service does not screen for or detect any condition other than the fatty acids covered by your specific test order.

Pregnancy and special populations

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, immunocompromised, taking prescription medication, or managing a chronic health condition, we strongly recommend discussing both the testing and any results with your healthcare provider before changing your supplementation, diet, or medication. This is particularly important for omega-3 supplementation in pregnancy, where published research shows benefit depends on starting status.

Advertising claims and TGA compliance

We aim to comply with the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code and the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 in all advertising and product communications. We do not make therapeutic claims inconsistent with the registered intended purpose of our medical device. Published research findings (such as the 42% reduction in early preterm birth from the Cochrane review) are presented as facts about the published research, not as claims about our specific product or service.

Adverse event reporting

If you experience an adverse event in connection with our test kit, please report it to us immediately:

Email: hello@omega3index.com.au (please mark the subject "Adverse Event Report")

You also have the right to report adverse events directly to the Therapeutic Goods Administration via:

SAHMRI partnership

We are an industry partner supporting the broader implementation of evidence-based omega-3 testing and supplementation in pregnancy, including the work led by the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) and the Test-and-Treat Program now embedded in SA Pathology's routine antenatal care. This partnership relates to our work supporting clinical and research adoption; our consumer-facing Omega-3 Index Test products are separately offered and are not endorsed by SAHMRI as consumer products.

Australian Consumer Law

Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing on this website or in our policies is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any consumer right or remedy that you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Intellectual property

All content on this website, including but not limited to the "Omega-3 Index Test" name, logo, and brand elements; written content; photography, illustrations, and graphics; the format and design of our test reports; and the website code, layout, and design is the intellectual property of Masdiag Pty Ltd or our licensors. You may view, download, and print content for personal, non-commercial use. Commercial reproduction without written permission is prohibited.
