Why CardioChek?
Distinct Advances in Professional Cholesterol Testing.
One Breakthrough Product.
Fast
The turn-around time with the CardioChek® PA system is less than half that of the most commonly used point-of-care (POC) cholesterol testing product, and up to two days faster than send-out testing. Just two minutes for an entire lipid profile.
Easy
Simpler operation means less training time and fewer user errors. The CardioChek PA POC instrument is a portable, battery-operated, handheld unit that is so comfortable and intuitively easy to use, it allows you, the medical professional, to focus on something far more important - the patient.
Efficient
Faster turn-around time in a screening environment offers the potential to double your productivity. The CardioChek PA POC instrument’s compact size and light weight make it economical to ship and store multiple units. And PTS Panels® test strips have a long shelf life and no refrigeration requirement, so there’s very little waste.
Differential Diagnostic Tool
CardioChek PA is an effective tool to assist healthcare professionals in the differential diagnosis of lipid disorders in accordance with:
- National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)
As a screening tool, CardioChek PA provides the flexibility to customize the diagnostic panel for your clients.
Therapy Management
NCEP, through the revised ATP III guidelines, has established the target for cholesterol-lowering therapy – LDL. CardioChek PA provides you with the ultimate solution – the CardioChek PA direct LDL test. You now have a fast, accurate means of making treatment decisions or reinforcing compliance for your patients.
