An entire Lipid pro.le in just two minutes! That’s a turn-around time that can dramatically improve patient care and caseload e.ciency. The Lipid Panel for use with the CardioChek PA point of care instrument o.ers a fast, easy and convenient method for point of care and large-scale testing of high blood cholesterol and other lipids, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. With one test strip, you get values for total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides plus a calculated LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol/HDL ratio. So in two minutes, following NCEP revised ATP III guidelines, you’re able to use the information to assist in diagnosis and treatment (or referral) decisions.

Advantages of the Lipid Panel
• Enhanced patient compliance to medications and lifestyle changes
• Single .ngerstick – only 1 drop of blood for all three tests
• Results in only 2 minutes – helps increase patient .ow and e.ciency
• Immediate feedback – counsel patients at the point-of-care
• Battery-operated, portable device – easy to use and transport
• Convenient package size – 15 test strips per vial
• No refrigeration required – long shelf-life at room temperature
• FDA-cleared, CLIA-waived, CE-marked

Generally speaking, the higher your LDL cholesterol level and the more cardiac risk factors you have (cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, family history of early heart disease, and age) the greater your chances for developing heart disease or having a heart attack. The ATPIII guidelines recognize LDL cholesterol as the primary target of risk reduction; the main goal of cholesterol treatment is to lower the LDL level enough to reduce heart disease and heart attack risk.

• Enhanced patient compliance to medications and lifestyle changes
• Single .ngerstick – only 1 drop of blood and 1 test strip
• Direct reading (not calculated)
• Results in just two minutes – helps increase patient flow and efficiency
• No fasting requirement

An entire Metabolic Chemistry pro.le in just two minutes. That’s a turn-around time that can dramatically improve patient care and caseload e.ciency. The Metabolic Chemistry Panel for use with the CardioChek PA point-of-care instrument o.ers a fast, easy and convenient method for large-scale testing. With this panel, you can measure three of the .ve risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome – HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose. So in two minutes, following NCEP revised ATP III guidelines, you’re able to use the information to assist in diagnosis and treatment (or referral) decisions.

What is metabolic syndrome?
Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of risk factors that increase the chances for developing cardiovascular disease. According to the American Heart Association, up to 25% of US adults have metabolic syndrome 2. The ATP III guidelines recognize metabolic syndrome as a secondary target of risk reduction, after an elevated LDL cholesterol level. Goals for managing metabolic syndrome include reducing underlying causes (i.e., obesity and physical inactivity) and treating associated non-lipid and lipid risk factors.

Diagnosing metabolic syndrome
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III guidelines identify .ve risk factors; any three may constitute a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome:1 The chart below displays decision points to determine risk. For all risk factors except HDL, the optimal condition is lower than the decision point. For HDL, the optimal condition is higher than the decision point.

With this panel, you get values for total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and glucose. In just two minutes, you’re able to use this information to assist in diagnosis and treatment (or referral) decisions. That’s a turn-around time that can dramatically improve patient care and caseload e.ciency. The CHOL+HDL+GLU panel for use with the CardioChek PA point-of-care instrument o.ers a fast, easy and convenient method for large-scale testing for two of the most common disease states: cardiovascular disease and diabetes For use with the CardioChek PA Professional Blood Testing Device Only.

The higher your total cholesterol, and the more cardiac risk factors you have (cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, family history of early heart disease, and age), the greater your chances of developing heart disease or having a heart attack. Your total cholesterol level is the sum of all the types of cholesterol in your blood. A total cholesterol level of under 200 mg/dL (5.18 mmol/L) is desirable. With the CardioChek® home cholesterol test system, you can easily track your total cholesterol level between physician visits

•Each package includes a MEMo Chip®, 3 test strips, lancets and convenient plastic blood collectors.

The CardioChek® test strips can be safely stored for months at room temperature.
