I did the metal testing with the company in Chicago which is part of Rush Hospital. They are the only one stateside that I understand do the metal testing. I tested positive for nickel allergy and my second TKN on my right knee has it.
The company name is Orthopedic Analysis phone 312 733 7121
address 2201 W. Campbell Park Drive Suite 215 Chicago IL 60612. Insurance does not cover it. So I had to pay around $500-600 I apologize I can not find my receipt. I called and they mailed the kit to me after I paid. I took it to a local lab to have my labs drawn and in the kit was a pre paid address label to mail back overnight Fed ex the blood draw. It took about 3 weeks to get my results but I am so glad I did. I am trying to find a Dr who understand allergies to implants and it is very challenging. Good Luck! its money well spent.

It cost $600 but worth it! The cementless had all the metals so I went with the zirconium.
