The CardioChek PA test system includes an analyzer, MEMo Chip and test strips. (Each package of strips comes with a MEMo Chip that contains lot specific information for the specific strip being used). The CardioChek PA system is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to test whole blood. Using this system, a health care professional can quickly measure various blood components from a small sample size. The CardioChek PA test system is capable of monitoring for diabetes and other disease states and lipid screening.

The CardioChek test system consists of three main parts. These include the analyzer, test strips and a MEMo Chip (Each package of strips comes with a MEMo Chip that contains lot specific information for the specific strip being used). When a blood sample is applied to the test strip, a chemical reaction occurs producing a color change. The CardioChek analyzer uses reflectance photometry to measure the color reaction and compares the information to the calibration curve stored in the MEMo Chip. The Polymer CardioChek analyzer converts this color reading into a test result, which is displayed on the screen.

Test results are automatically stored in the analyzers memory. CardioChek PA memory can store up to 30 results of each chemistry and 10 results of each control test. The analyzer allows review of the results of each control test in order from the most recent to the oldest. Each result is displayed with time and date. Results stored in memory are not deleted when the batteries are changed. Point-of-Care Lipid Panel testing is proven to provide physician offices and occupational health facilities with the ability to improve patient management, office efficiency and increase profits.

QuickMedical strictly monitors the expiration date of all blood testing products in their inventory. Purchasing a maximum of a six to nine month supply of test strips is recommended.
