Description

Alere Biosite TRIAGE BNP TEST 25/BX

The Triage BNP Test is intended for use with the Triage Meters for the rapid in vitro quantitative measurement of B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in human whole-blood or plasma specimens using EDTA as the anticoagulant.

The Triage® BNP Test is the first objective measurement for heart failure.

The only CLIA waived blood test measuring B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)
Cardiac hormone produced by the heart ventricles in response to ventricular volume expansion and pressure overload
Excellent hormonal marker of ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction

Features

98 percent diagnostic accuracy in initial studies versus all other clinical findings in patients with or without disease history
Quantitative and accurate, rapid results help differentiate nonspecific signs and symptoms (dyspnea) with results in approximately 15 minutes
98 percent specificity using a 100 pg/mL cutoff
>98 percent negative predictive value utilizing 100 pg/mL cutoff
Corrected 96 percent of misdiagnoses of patients with suspected heart failure in initial studies
Diagnostic accuracy confirmed for:
- Early- and late-stage heart failure in point-of-care setting
- Patients with normal and abnormal ejection fractions
Studies indicate that BNP is predictive of systolic and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction
BNP levels are not influenced by hypertension, diabetes, renal insufficiency, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
