CardioChek PA Direct LDL:
The Standard for Lipid Treatment Decisions

Product Specifications

The Friedewald (calculated) method for determining LDL has been the norm for decades. Recently, automated clinical laboratory methods have been available to provide a measured LDL result, rather than an estimated value. Now, there is a POC counterpart.

The new Direct LDL Test Strip for use with the CardioChek PA system provides an absolute LDL value, even in patients with elevated triglycerides levels. And with a two-minute turn-around time and no fasting requirement, Direct LDL offers health care professionals fast, easy access to the information they need to make treatment decisions (based on the NCEP revised ATP III guidelines). CardioChek PA Direct LDL is setting the standard in POC cholesterol testing.
