## Indications for use
The PROLYTE is an automated, microprocessor-controlled analyzer which utilizes ion-selective electrodes for the measurement of sodium, potassium, and chloride in whole blood, plasma, serum, and pre-diluted urine samples. The PROLYTE Sodium Assay is intended to measure sodium in whole blood, plasma, serum, and urine on the PROLYTE Electrolyte Analyzer. Measurements obtained by this device are used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of alclosteronism (excessive secretion of the hormone aldosterone), diabetes insipidus (chronic excretion of large amounts of dilute urine, accompanied by extreme thirst), adrenal hypertension, Addison's disease (caused by destruction of the adrenal glands), dehydration, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance. The PROLYTE Potassium Assay is intended to measure potassium in whole blood, plasma, serum, and urine on the PROLYTE Electrolyte Analyzer. Measurements obtained by this device are used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of disease conditions characterized by low or high blood potassium levels. The PROLYTE Chloride Assay is intended to measure the level of chloride in whole blood, plasma, serum, and urine. Chloride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of electrolyte and metabolic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and diabetic acidosis.
