Cardiac Reader Compact desktop analyzer for fast Point of Care (PoC) diagnosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome, venous thromboembolism and congestive heart failure. For use in doctors’ offices or emergency rooms.
When every minute counts, the Cardiac reader analyzer allows the quantitative determination of troponin T, myoglobin, D-Dimer and now N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) from a single whole blood sample within minutes.
Customer benefits
- Easy to use
The Cardiac reader can be used with only 150 µl of heparinized venous whole blood. No special training is required to operate the system.
- No delays in emergency situations
The Cardiac reader is always ready to use (stand-by mode) and needs no manual calibration. Quantitative results are available after just 8 minutes (D-Dimer, myoglobin) to 12 minutes each (troponin T, NT-proBNP), making it easier to choose the appropriate treatment while your patient is still in your office.
- Test performance you can count on
The Cardiac reader for decentralized testing provides good agreement of results to laboratory systems.
- Choosing the best parameter combination for your patients
Testing troponin T and myoglobin allows rapid diagnosis and risk stratification in patients presenting with chest pain and suspicion of myocardial infarction. If you suspect deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, your first diagnosis step is to test for the thrombosis marker D-Dimer. The rapid measurement of NT-proBNP used in conjunction with clinical information improves the diagnosis and assessment of acute and non acute heart failure patients in hospital and primary care settings.
NT-proBNP aids
- in the diagnosis and assessment of patients suspected of having congestive heart failure
- the monitoring of patients with compensated left ventricular dysfunction
- the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes.
Additional features
- The Roche CARDIAC test strips
Roche CARDIAC M assay determines myoglobin in a 30–700 ng/ml measuring range after eight minutes of reaction time.
Roche CARDIAC T quantitative assay needs 12 minutes of reaction time to determine quantitative troponin T (range: 0.1–2.0 ng/ml).
Roche CARDIAC D-Dimer assay needs eight minutes to determine D-Dimer in a measuring range of 0.1–4.0 µg/ml.
Roche CARDIAC proBNP assay offers quantitative determination of NT-proBNP in 12 minutes within a measuring range of 60–3000 pg/ml.
- Two types of quality control (QC) tests
The Cardiac reader IQC is a set of two reusable quality control tests to check the optical system.
Cardiac control troponin T, myoglobin, D-Dimer and NT-proBNP check system performance via lyophilized control material.
- Convenient procedure
The display prompts the operator throughout all steps. A lot-specific code chip included in every test strip pack provides the lot-specific data required for the quantitative measurement. Two serial interfaces enable the connection to PC/Host and external printer or barcode reader.
- Hands-free, bi-directional communication
Designed for network integration with and connection to cobas IT 1000 solution.
