Polymer Tech Systems 2412 - CHOL+HDL+GLU Strips 15Tests 1/BX
CHOL+HDL+GLU Test Strips - Measures Total Cholesterol, HDL, Glucose and allows calculation of TC/HDL Ratio
The CardioChek PA and CardioChek Plus test systems (consisting of the CardioChek PA and CardioChek Plus professional analyzers and PTS Panels CHOL+HDL+GLU test strips) is for the quantitative determination of total cholesterol, HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol and glucose in venous whole blood and capillary whole blood from the fingertip and is intended for multiple patient use in professional healthcare settings. This system should only be used with single-use, auto-disabling lancing devices. This system is for in vitro diagnostic use only.
- Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders.
- HDL (lipoprotein) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and renal diseases.
- Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet carcinoma.
A Chol/HDL ratio is calculated by the CardioChek PA and CardioChek Plus analyzers.
PTS Panels CHOL+HDL+GLU test strips measure cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and glucose in whole blood with the CardioChek PA or CardioChek Plus professional analyzer, and provide a quantitative result. A MEMo Chip is provided with each package of test strips and must be properly inserted into the analyzer before any test can be run. The MEMo Chip contains the test name, calibration curve, lot number and test strip expiration date. After the test strip is inserted into the analyzer and blood applied to the test strip, test results are displayed in as little as 90 seconds.
Principles of the Test
When blood is applied to a test strip, the blood reacts to produce color that is read by the analyzer using reflectance photometry. The amount of color produced is proportional to the concentration. The enzymatic reactions that occur are listed below.
