Important Safety Instructions
Users should adhere to standard precautions when handling or using this analyzer. All
parts of the glucose monitoring system should be considered potentially infectious and
are capable of transmitting bloodborne pathogens between patients and healthcare
professionals. For more information, refer to “Guideline for Isolation Precautions:
Preventing Transmission of Infectious Agents in Healthcare Settings 2007”,
http://www.cdc.gov/hicpac/2007ip/2007isolationprecautions.html.
The analyzer should be cleaned and disinfected after use on each patient. This system
may only be used for testing multiple patients when Standard Precautions and the
manufacturer’s disinfection procedures are followed.
Only auto-disabling, single-use lancing devices should be used with this analyzer.
The CardioChek PA analyzer is fast, portable, and reliable. This analyzer is a component
of a test system that includes PTS Panels test strips. The PTS Panels test strip box
includes a MEMo Chip
that contains the assay calibration curve and other important
information about the assay. PTS Panels test strips are sold separately, and are available
as single- and multiple-analyte test strips.
This test system uses reflectance photometry technology. An enzymatic reaction on the
test strip produces a color change that is detected by the analyzer after whole blood
is applied.
This user guide includes all the information that you need to run POC assays using the
CardioChek PA test system. Before you begin testing, please read this entire user guide
and the package inserts, which are included with the PTS Panels test strips.
Please remember to return the enclosed warranty card to PTS Diagnostics to ensure that
you receive product updates and other important information.
The CardioChek PA test system has many different analyte test strips
available for use. Not all test strips are available for use in all countries.
Please refer to the package insert of each PTS Panels test strip prior
to use.
