The Lipid Panel Test Strips are intended to measure cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides in whole blood on a BioScanner Plus (CardioChek brand) analyzer. The BioScanner Plus (CardioChek brand) analyzer is intended to be used by healthcare professionals to measure blood analytes on a test strip. Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders. 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.
