CardioChek Plus System Intended Use
The CardioChek Plus test system is a small, portable analyzer and test strip system
intended for multiple-patient use in professional healthcare settings. This system
should only be used with single-use, auto-disabling lancing devices. This system is for
in vitro diagnostic use only. The test strips are for the quantitative determination of
glucose, total cholesterol, HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol, and triglycerides in
venous whole blood and capillary whole blood from the ngertip. A Chol/HDL ratio and
estimated values for LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol
are calculated by the CardioChek Plus analyzer.
• Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatments of disorders
involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein
metabolism disorders.
• HDL (lipoprotein) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid
disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and
renal diseases.
• Triglycerides measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients
with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction, other diseases involving lipid
metabolism or various endocrine disorders.
• Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate
metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, and
idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.
This user guide is for professional users. The CardioChek Plus test system may be used
with an optional printer, optional software solutions (a software accessory to provide
personalized health related information using cholesterol results), and has wireless
communication capability to assist in data reporting.
