CardioDetect ®

New, very rapid cardiac marker of Acute Myocardial Infarction

The traditional markers Troponin T, Troponin I, and CK-MB do not offer diagnostic safety until about 3-4 hours post myocardial infarction. In contrast, heart-specific Fatty Acid-Binding Protein (h-FABP) can be detected much as early as 20 minutes following AMI.

CardioDetect®  provides a qualitative immunological rapid test for the determination of heart-specific Fatty Acid-Binding Protein (h-FABP).

The marker h-FABP is almost exclusively present in the cardiac tissue. Therefore, it shows a very high sensitivity and specificity.

The CE marked CardioDetect ® med (h-FABP) system has extremely high sensitivity and high specificity for the detection of AMI, gives results in less than 15 minutes from 3-4 drops of whole blood applied in a handy credit card format.

The new CardioDetect ® combi (h-FABP + CTnI) provides a qualitative immunological rapid test for the determination of BOTH heart-specific Fatty Acid-Binding Protein and cardiac Troponin I in whole blood, serum or plasma, thus covering the broad range of time since onset of symptoms.

Improved temperature stability

With immediate effect the storage requirements for the products CardioDetect lab and CardioDetect combi do not need to be stored refrigerated anymore, but can be stored at room temperature. For a limited time they even can be stored at much higher temperatures. This will greatly simplify the handling of the devices and extends the useage of this life saver to environments with difficult temperature conditions like ambulances and home visits.
