Significantly reduce the
time to treatment with Spectral's Cardiac STATus™ tests.
The more quickly you identify high-risk ACS, the sooner therapy can
begin, saving time, money, heart muscle and especially
lives.
The Spectral Cardiac STATus™ tests are simple,
hand held cardiac marker bedside tests which support the ACC/AHA
guidelines and recommendation for diagnosis of
MI. These clinically proven products quickly and
accurately determine elevations of multiple cardiac markers -
enabling health care providers to easily assess and diagnose chest
pain at the decision point.
A fast, easy and convenient diagnostic
tool: The Cardiac STATus™
product line will benefit emergency departments, critical care
units, point of care and other healthcare settings.

blood
Internal controls on every
test
Results are simple to interpret -
any presence of a band is indicative of a positive result!
Myoglobin, Troponin I, CK-MB Tandem
Test Cat.
CS-3002
Clinically proven in the rule-in, rule-out of
ACS, enabling health care providers to easily and accurately
diagnose chest pain patients at the bedside.
Myoglobin is a
sensitive early marker often elevating within 2 hrs.
TroponinI is
proven specific to myocardium reaching the upper limit of
normal in 4-6 hours and remaining elevated for up to
7-10 days.
CK-MB reaches the upper
limit of normal in 3-6 hours.
Troponin I Cat. No. CS1002
This
test kit will identify Troponin I in human whole blood, which
is the single most critical determination central to the
revised definition of acute myocardial infarction
(AMI).
Specific to myocardium with elevations occurring only
in patients with cardiac injury
Troponin I
has high sensitivity to detect early
and minor myocardial injury
Elevations can persist for up to 7-10 days, allowing
detection of late chest pain
presentation
CK-MB
Cat. No. CS1003
Spectral's Cardiac
STATus™ CK-MB test kit is a rapid in vitro diagnostic test kit
for the qualitative determination of CK-MB in human whole
blood as an aid in the rule-in of AMI.
CK-MB,
reaches upper limit of normal in approximately 3-6
hours
The Release Kinetics
The American College of Cardiology and the
European Society of Cardiology have changed the clinical and
diagnostic definition of myocardial infarction. Current
technology can detect areas of myocardial necrosis under 1 g
in weight. Positive blood tests for cardiac troponin or
CK-MB can accurately and reliably label these small infarcts as an MI.
Spectral's proprietary technology
utilizes a rapid multiple cardiac marker
approach. This allows a wide window for diagnosing early
and late chest pain presentations and provides the
sensitivity and specificity to accurately rule in and rule out
AMI within
minutes.
