ABAXIS, INC. 400-0024 Piccolo Basic Metabolic Panel

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.

The Piccolo® Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, used with the Piccolo® blood chemistry analyzer or the Piccolo Xpress® chemistry analyzer, is intended to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose, potassium, sodium, total bilirubin, total carbon dioxide, total protein, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in heparinized whole blood, heparinized plasma, or serum in a clinical laboratory setting or point-of-care location.The tests on this panel are waived under CLIA ’88 regulations. If a laboratory modifies the test system instructions, then the tests are considered high complexity and subject to all CLIA requirements. For CLIA waived labs, only lithium heparin whole blood may be tested. For use in moderate complexity labs, lithium heparinized whole blood, lithium heparinized plasma, or serum may be used.
