MetLac 12 Panel
The Piccolo® MetLac 12 Panel reagent disc, used with the Piccolo Xpress® chemistry analyzer, is intended to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of albumin, calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose, lactate, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, total carbon dioxide and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in lithium heparinized whole blood or lithium heparinized plasma in a clinical laboratory setting or point-of-care location.
Summary
The Piccolo MetLac 12 Panel reagent disc and the Piccolo Xpress chemistry analyzer comprise an in vitro diagnostic system that aids the physician in diagnosing the following disorders:
| Albumin | Liver and kidney diseases. |
|---|---|
| Calcium | Hyperparathyroidism, hypothyroidism, 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. |
| Lactate | Lactate measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lactate acidosis, monitoring tissue hypoxia, and diagnosis of hyperlactatemia. |
| Magnesium | Hypomagnesemia and hypermagnesemia. |
| Phosphorus | Dehydration, diabetes, parathyroidism, and renal disease. |
| 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. |
