Basic Metabolic Panel
The Piccolo® Basic Metabolic Panel, used with the Piccolo blood chemistry analyzer or the PiccoloXpress® chemistry analyzer, is intended to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose, potassium, sodium, total carbon dioxide, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in heparinized whole blood, heparinized plasma, or serum in a clinical laboratory setting or point-of-care location.
Summary
The Piccolo Basic Metabolic Panel and the Piccolo blood chemistry analyzer comprise an in vitro diagnostic system that aids the physician in diagnosing the following disorders:
| Calcium | Parathyroid, bone and chronic renal diseases; tetany. |
|---|---|
| Chloride | Dehydration, prolonged diarrhea and vomiting, renal tubular disease, hyperparathyroidism, burns, salt-losing renal diseases, overhydration and thiazide therapy. |
| Creatinine | Renal disease and monitoring of renal dialysis. |
| Glucose | Carbohydrate metabolism disorders, including adult and juvenile diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia. |
| Potassium | Renal glomerular or tubular disease, adrenocortical insufficiency, diabetic ketacidosis, excessive intravenous potassium therapy, sepsis, panhypopituitarism, in vitro hemolysis, hyperaldosteronism, malnutrition, hyperinsulinism, metabolic alkalosis and gastrointestinal loss. |
| Sodium | Dehydration, diabetes insipidus, loss of hypotonic gastrointestinal fluids, salt poisoning, selective depression of sense of thirst, skin losses, burns, sweating, hyperaldosteronism, CNS disorders, dilutional, depletional and delusional hyponatremia and syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion. |
| Total carbon dioxide | Primary metabolic alkalosis and acidosis and primary respiratory alkalosis and acidosis. |
| Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) | Renal and metabolic diseases. |
