Device Description: The Piccolo® Lipid Panel Plus, used with the Piccolo® blood chemistry analyzer or the Picc (View more) The Piccolo® Lipid Panel Plus, used with the Piccolo® blood chemistry analyzer or the Piccolo Xpress® chemistry analyzer, is intended for the in vitro quantitative determination of total cholesterol (CHOL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), triglycerides (TRIG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and glucose (GLU) in capillary (fingerstick) lithium heparinized whole blood, venous lithium heparinized whole blood, lithium heparinized plasma, or serum in a clinical laboratory setting or point-of-care location. From the CHOL, HDL and TRIG determinations, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL), non-HDL cholesterol, and a total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TC/H) are calculated by the analyzer.Lipid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid and lipoprotein disorders, atherosclerosis, various liver and renal diseases, diabetes mellitus, and other diseases involving lipid metabolism or various endocrine disorders.The tests on this panel are waived under CLIA ’88 regulations. If a laboratory modifies the test system instructions, then the tests are considered high complexity and subject to all CLIA requirements. For CLIA waived labs, only lithium heparin whole blood (venous or capillary) may be tested. For use in moderate complexity labs, lithium heparinized whole blood, lithium heparinized plasma, or serum may be used. (View less)
