The Triage MeterPro is designed for ease of use, with results displayed in an easy-to-read format. It can be interfaced with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) or other data management systems for automated result upload and instrument management. This is a handheld device that measures BNP levels in patient samples, typically EDTA anticoagulated whole blood or plasma specimens.

• Function: It utilizes a fluorescence immunoassay to detect BNP, a hormone released by the heart ventricles in response to increased volume and pressure overload.
• Purpose: The BNP test is primarily used as an aid in diagnosing and assessing the severity of congestive heart failure (CHF). It can also be used for risk stratification in patients with acute coronary syndromes and those already diagnosed with heart failure.
• Process: The procedure involves adding a sample to a disposable test device, inserting the device into the meter, and reading the results displayed on the screen.
• Features: It provides quick results (around 15 minutes) and can use whole blood, plasma, or urine samples. The MeterPro also has built-in quality controls. Results are quantitative and are highlighted if they exceed a pre-defined cutoff value.
• Triage System Guide Set: This refers to the accompanying materials that guide the user on the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of the Triage MeterPro system and the BNP test.
• Importance of BNP testing: Measuring BNP levels is important because it can help healthcare providers diagnose or rule out heart failure, especially in patients presenting with symptoms like shortness of breath.
• Assess the severity of heart failure: Higher BNP levels often indicate more severe heart failure.
• Predict prognosis: BNP levels can help determine the chances of the patient's condition worsening.
• Monitor treatment effectiveness: Changes in BNP levels can reflect the effectiveness of treatments for heart failure.

This item is used and in excellent cosmetic condition. No further testing has been conducted. The guide set is missing the pen, timer, and magnet clip; however, all instructional videos are included.
