CardioChek PA Kit – Complete Lipid and Glucose Test
The CardioChek PA Kit is a rapid, portable diagnostic system designed to accurately measure essential lipid parameters and blood glucose. This device is a benchmark in the field of Point of Care (POC) testing , used by both healthcare professionals and individuals wishing to monitor their lipid metabolism.
A reference device for lipid analysis
Manufactured by Polymer Technology Systems, Inc. (USA) , the CardioChek PA analyzes a wide range of lipids and glucose from a single drop of blood. It works with both capillary whole blood and venous blood , providing great flexibility of use.
Parameters analyzed:
- Total Cholesterol
- HDL cholesterol ("good cholesterol")
- LDL cholesterol ("bad cholesterol", calculated using the Friedewald equation)
- Triglycerides
- TC/HDL risk factor
- Blood glucose
The analyzer is CE 0197 certified and complies with IVD 98/79/EU regulations, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Technology and ease of use
The CardioChek PA analyzer uses a built-in calibration curve , transmitted via a MEMo Chip supplied with each batch of strips. This ensures automatic calibration and increased reliability of results.
The device is powered by 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries , allowing for extended use without the need for frequent recharging.
Its LCD display provides clear reading of results in mg/dL or mmol/L , adapted to medical recommendations.
