PTS 1708 CardioChek P-A Blood Analyzer

The CLIA-waived CardioChek P-A blood analyzer was designed for use by healthcare professionals to test patients on the spot. It's the simplest, fastest and most user-friendly method to accurately determine lipid values at point-of-care.

Efficient

In about two minutes -- in an exam room, waiting room or office –- nurses or technicians with a hand-held CardioChek P-A can obtain results from a quick and easy fingerstick. No blood tube draw. No centrifugation or shipping. No waiting for the lab. No re-charting. No telephone calls to give the patient results.

Effective

Accurate results are in the chart for the physician-patient encounter. Deal immediately with the situation. Counsel the patient face-to-face with immediate test results.

Accurate

The CardioChek P-A system, properly used, produces lipid results that meet the accuracy guidelines established by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). While the CardioChek P-A is CLIA-waived for use by self-trained or minimally-trained users, users are urged to learn proper techniques.

Economical

With the CardioChek P-A, you can increase your revenues through reimbursement. Medicare and most insurance carriers accept claims for CLIA-waived, point-of-care lipid testing. Over 75 ICD-9 codes apply. You can also reduce costs by freeing up nursing and staff time.
