Accurex NT-Pro Bnp Fast Test Kit can help evaluate heart contractile, diastolic dysfunction, and ventricular segmental wall motion coordination. It has high sensitivity and negative predictive value. It is helpful to indicate heart failure patients at the early stage, determine HF risk levels, monitor medical efficiency of HF drug, evaluate the prognosis of HF patient and to distinguish dyspnea that is caused by HF from other diseases. It acts as a risk assessment indicator for the acute coronary syndrome. The test uses an anti-human NT-proBNP monoclonal antibody conjugated with fluorescence latex and an anti-human NT-proBNP polyclonal antibody coated on the test line. After the sample has been applied to the test strip, the fluorescence latex-label-led anti-human NT-proBNP monoclonal antibody binds with the NT-proBNP in the sample and forms a marked antigen-antibody complex. This complex moves to the test card detection zone by capillary action. Then marked antigen-antibody complex is captured on the test line by the anti-human NT-proBNP polyclonal antibody. The fluorescence intensity of the test line increases in proportion to the amount of NT-proBNP in the sample. Then insert the test card into ACCUDx CQ immunofluorescence quantitative analyser. The concentration of NT-proBNP in the sample will be measured and displayed on the screen. The value will be stored in the ACCUDx CQ analyser and available for downloading. The result can be easily transmitted to the laboratory or hospital information systemUses:It is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) in serum, plasma or whole blood. This test is used to aid in the clinical diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of Heart failure (HF)Product Specifications and Features: Content: ACCUDx CQ NT-proBNP test card in a sealed pouch with desiccant-25 disposable pipet, whole blood buffer, SD/RFID card and user manual Applicable Device: ACCUDx CQ immunofluorescence quantitative analyser Whole blood buffer composition: Phosphate buffered saline, proteins, detergent, preservative, stabiliser A test card consists of a plastic shell and a reagent strip which is composed of a sample pad, nitrocellulose membrane (one end of the membrane is coated with a fluorescence latex-labelled anti-human NT-proBNP monoclonal antibody, the test line is coated with another anti-human NT-proBNP monoclonal antibody, and the control line is coated with rabbit anti-mouse IgG antibody) absorbent paper and liner Directions For Use: Collect specimens according to the manual Test card, sample and reagent should be brought to room temperature before testing Confirm SD card lot no. in accordance with test kit lot no. Perform?SD card calib? calibration when necessary (details refer to 8.5.2 of getein 1100 user manual) On the main interface of getein 1100, press the "ENT" button to enter the testing interface Remove the test card from the sealed pouch immediately before use Label the test card with patient or control identification Put the test card on a clean table, horizontally placed Using a sample transfer pipette, deliver 100 ?l of sample into one tube of sample diluent, mix gently and thoroughly Then drop 100 ?l (or three drops of the sample when using a disposable pipet) of sample mixture into the sample port on the test card After 10 minutes, insert the test card into getein1 100 and press the "ENT" button. The result will be shown on the screen Safety Information: Read the label carefully before use Store in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight Keep out of reach of children Use the test card within 1 hour once the foil pouch is opened Store the blood sample diluent at 0-30 ? for a valid period of 24 months Store the blood sample diluent at 2-8 ? for better results For in vitro diagnostic use only For professional use only Do not use the kit beyond the expiration date Do not use the test card if the foil pouch or the cartridge is damaged Do not open pouches or the cartridge until ready to perform the test Do not reuse the test card Do not reuse the pipet Handle all specimens as potentially infectious. Proper handling and disposal methods should be followed in accordance with local regulations Carefully read and follow the manual to ensure proper test performance Do not mix or interchange different batches of kits
