Basic Metabolic Panel Plus
The Piccolo® Basic Metabolic Panel Plus, used with the Piccolo blood chemistry analyzer or Piccolo Xpress® chemistry analyzer, is intended to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase, magnesium, potassium, sodium, total carbon dioxide, and blood urea nitrogen in a clinical laboratory setting or point-of-care location. This disc is for testing heparinized plasma and serum, only.
Summary
The Piccolo Basic Metabolic Panel Plus reagent disc and the Piccolo blood chemistry analyzer or Piccolo Xpress chemistry analyzer comprise an in vitro diagnostic system that aids the physician in the diagnosis and treatment of the following disorders:
| 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, hypopituitarism, pancreatitis and renal disease. |
| Lactate Dehydrogenase | Liver diseases such as acute viral hepatitis and cirrhosis; cardiac diseases such as myocardial infarction; and tissue alterations of the heart, kidney, liver, and muscle. |
| Magnesium | Hypomagnesemia and hypermagnesemia. |
| 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 | Renal and metabolic diseases. |
