Lysun Lipid Meter Test Strip

Accurex Lysun Lipid Meter Test Strip
The blood lipid test strip (dry chemistry) work with the blood lipid analysis meter or dry biochemical analysis meter to measure the lipid concentration in whole blood, plasma and serum. The 3-1 lipid panel is used to measure the concentrations of total cholesterol (tc), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl) and triglycerides (tg). it is also used to calculate ldl, tc/hdl. Lipid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders involving lipids and lipoproteins.

Uses:
The blood lipid analysis system is intended for the quantitative determination of total cholesterol (tc), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl), triglycerides (tg), and the calculated ratio of tc/hdl and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (ldl) in capillary blood, venous whole blood, plasma and serum.

Product Specifications and Features:

• The Blood Lipid Test Strip (Dry Chemistry) use a timed-endpoint method to measure the Total Cholesterol (TC), High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL) and Triglycerides (TG) concentrations in whole blood, serum or plasma

• The concentration of Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL) is calculated by the values of TC, TG and HDL. The system monitors the change in absorbance at 620 nm at a fixed-time interval

• The change in absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of lipid in the specimen

• TC: The free cholesterol is oxidized to cholesten-3-one and hydrogen peroxide by cholesterol oxidase

• Peroxidase catalyzes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with 4-aminoantipyrine and phenol to produce colored quinoneimine product

• HDL: The dextran slulphate/Mg2+ on the test strip precipitates the chylomicrons, VLDL and LDL, leaving HDL in the specimen. The cholesterol concentration of this HDL is then determined enzymatically, the same as TC

• TG: Triglycerides in the specimen are hydrolyzed to glycerol and free fatty acids by the action of lipase

• A sequence of three coupled enzymatic steps using glycerol kinase (GK), glycerophosphate oxidase (GPO), and peroxidase (POD) causes the oxidative coupling of 4-aminoantipyrine to form a blue dye LDL

• When the concentration of TG in the specimen is equal to or lower than 400mg/dL, LDL concentration can be calculated by the meter with the following equation: LDL=TC-HDL-TG/2.2(mmol/L); LDL=TC-HDL-TG/5(mg/dL)

Directions For Use:

• Allow the test strip, specimen, and/or controls to reach operating temperature (10-35℃) prior to testing

• Insert the code chip into the meter and code the meter correctly. Refer to coding the meter section in the User’s Manual for details

• Compare the code number on the code chip with the code number printed on the test strip canister or foil pouch and ensure the two numbers are identical to avoid inaccurate results

• Check that the specimen type is same as the specimen type tested. If not, set the correct specimen type. Refer to the User’s Manual for details. Remove the test strip from the test strip canister or foil pouch

• Wait for the meter to display Insert Strip. Insert the test strip completely into the test strip channel in the same direction as the arrows printed on the test strip

• Prepare the specimen to be tested. For venous whole blood/plasma/serum specimens: mix the specimen for about 15minutes. For capillary blood specimen: wipe away the first drop of blood

• Collect 35μL of the second or third drop of capillary blood specimen using a capillary transfer tube or pipette. Hold the tube slightly downward and touch the tip of the capillary transfer tube to the blood drop

• Draw the specimen and stop drawing when the specimen comes to the fill line

• While the meter is flashing the blood drop symbol, apply 35μL specimen to the specimen application area of the test strip using a pipette or capillary transfer tube

• Align the tip of the pipette or capillary transfer tube with the specimen application area to apply the blood. 4 dashed lines will appear on the meter to show the test is in progress

• Read the results on the screen in 2 minutes. Refer to the user’s manual for detail test procedures

Safety Information:

• For in vitro diagnostic use only

• The test strips should remain in the original package until use

• Do not use it after the expiration date

• Do not touch the reagent area of the test strips

• Discard any discolored or damaged test strips

• All specimens should be considered potentially hazardous and handled in the same manner as an infectious agent

• The used test strips should be discarded according to local regulations after testing

• Check the code chip before performing a test. Make sure to use the code chip that is included with the package of test strips. Insert the code chip into the code chip slot. The code chip slot is located on the left side of the meter

• Check that the specimen type is same as the specimen type tested

• Decisions of medical relevance are not to be taken without consultation of a doctor. Changes to treatment should only be made after proper training

• Store as packaged in the sealed pouch or canister, either at room temperature or refrigerated (2-30℃)

• Keep out of direct sunlight. Test strips are stable through the expiration date printed on the test strip canister or foil pouch

• Remove only enough test strips for immediate use. Replace the cap on the strips canister immediately and tightly

• Do not freeze. Do not use it beyond the expiration date
