About
The Strips are for the quantitative determination of total cholesterol, HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol, and triglycerides in venous whole blood and capillary whole blood from the fingertip and are 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. Triglycerides measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction, other diseases involving lipid metabolism or various endocrine disorders.
Sumamry:
PTS Panels lipid panel test strips measure total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides in whole blood with the CardioChek PA or the CardioChek Plus professional analyzer, and provide a quantitative result. PTSPanels test strips are designed for use
with fresh, capillary (fingerstick) whole blood, or fresh venous whole blood collected in EDTA or heparin tubes. 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.
Specification
Principle:
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.
TEST RESULTS:
Results are displayed in either milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or in millimoles per liter
(mmol/L). The analyzer is preset to mg/dL, which is the appropriate unit in the United
States and many other countries. Other countries use mmol/L. Select the units that are
correct for your country. For instructions on how to change the units, please see the
analyzer user guide. No calculation of results is necessary.
Direction for Use
1. Insert the MEMo Chip that matches the lot
number on the test strip vial and press one of
the buttons to turn the analyzer ON.
2. Hold the test strip by the end marked “PTS”.
Insert the opposite end of the test strip into
analyzer.
3. When APPLY SAMPLE appears on the display,
use a capillary blood collector or pipet to
apply 35-40 µL of whole blood to the test
strip blood application window.
4. In as little as 90 seconds, the results will
appear on the display automatically on the
analyzer. As necessary, press NEXT to view
aditional results. Remove and discard test
strip. Do not add more blood to a test strip
that has been used.
To verify that enough blood has been applied to the test strip, after testing is
completed, remove test strip and check back of test strip. If areas are not completely
and evenly colored, discard test strip and test again.
Other Info
STORAGE AND HANDLING:
• Store test strip package in a cool, dry place at room temperature 68-86°F
(20-30°C) or refrigerated at 35-46°F (2-8°C). Test strips must be brought to
room temperature 68-86°F (20-30°C) before using. Do not freeze.
• Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
• If a desiccant packet is included in the vial, do not remove or discard it.
• Always replace vial cap immediately after removing a test strip.
• Use test strip as soon as you have removed it from the vial.
• Keep the MEMo Chip in the original box that held the test strips.
• Store the test strips in the original vial. Do not combine with other test strips and
do not store the MEMo Chip in the test strip vial.
• After opening, the test strip
