Frequently asked questions
Does this panel provide rapid diagnostic results?
Yes, the Piccolo MetLyte 8 Panel is designed for efficiency, delivering comprehensive test results in just 12 minutes. This rapid turnaround time helps facilitate faster clinical decision-making in point-of-care settings.
Which specific analytes are covered in this test?
The MetLyte 8 Panel simultaneously measures eight critical analytes to provide a broad metabolic and electrolyte profile:
- BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen)
- CK (Creatine Kinase)
- Cl- (Chloride)
- CRE (Creatinine)
- GLU (Glucose)
- K+ (Potassium)
- Na+ (Sodium)
- tCO2 (Total Carbon Dioxide)
Is this panel considered CLIA Waived?
Yes, the panel is classified as CLIA Waived when utilizing lithium heparin whole blood. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of clinical environments, including physician offices and urgent care clinics.
Can I use different types of samples with this disc?
The sample type requirements depend on the classification of the test:
- CLIA Waived: Uses lithium heparin whole blood.
- Moderate Complexity: Uses lithium heparin whole blood, lithium heparin plasma, or serum.
Are these discs compatible with all Piccolo systems?
Yes, these reagent discs are specifically calibrated and engineered for seamless integration with the Piccolo Blood Chemistry Analyzer and the Piccolo Xpress Chemistry Analyzer.
How should these reagent discs be stored?
To maintain the integrity and accuracy of the reagents, the discs must be stored at a temperature between 2-8°C (36-46°F) and kept inside their original sealed pouches until use.
How many tests are included in one box?
Each standard box contains 10 individual reagent discs, providing a convenient supply for routine chemistry screening and monitoring.
Is the testing process simplified by the disc format?
Absolutely. The self-contained disc format is designed to simplify the testing workflow by ensuring consistent reagent application. It utilizes a sophisticated internal architecture of microfluidic channels to manage the sample and perform the analysis automatically once loaded into the compatible Piccolo analyzer.
Does this panel support both routine screening and monitoring?
Yes, the MetLyte 8 Panel is an ideal diagnostic tool for healthcare providers who need accurate and rapid electrolyte and kidney function metabolic profiling, making it highly effective for both initial screenings and ongoing patient monitoring.
Is this product factory new?
Yes, all MetLyte 8 Panels supplied are factory new, ensuring you receive high-precision diagnostic components that meet the manufacturer’s quality standards.
