NT-proBNP rapid test for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases

The NT-proBNP Rapid Test Kit (whole blood/serum/plasma) is intended for the qualitative determination of NT-proBNP in human whole blood/serum/plasma.

NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide) is a peptide produced in the wall of the left ventricle of the heart. The body releases the hormone called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and NT-proBNP from the proBNP molecule. Measuring the NT-proBNP level in the blood can play an important role in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. An elevated NT-proBNP level may generally indicate the following:

1. Heart failure: The NT-proBNP level rises in heart failure. In heart failure, the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, and the increased pressure built up in the ventricles increases the production of NT-proBNP.
2. Myocardial infarction: In myocardial infarction (heart attack), the NT-proBNP level may rise. The heart muscle damaged by the infarction increases the production of the peptide in response to further stress.
3. Inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis): In myocarditis the NT-proBNP level may also rise, as the inflammation can affect the function of the heart.
4. Heart valve problems: Abnormalities of the heart valves can also cause an elevated NT-proBNP level.
5. High blood pressure (hypertension): High blood pressure can also contribute to an increase in the NT-proBNP level, especially if the high blood pressure affects the left ventricle of the heart.

Measuring the NT-proBNP level can be useful in diagnosing heart failure, assessing the severity of the disease, and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment. However, the NT-proBNP level is not specific, and other factors can also influence it, such as age, sex, kidney disease, or even the use of certain medications. The results must always be evaluated by a physician together with the patient's clinical picture. The test kit can be ordered for professional use.

Test procedure

Read the Instructions for Use carefully before performing the test. Before testing, allow the test, the sample and/or the controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C).

1. Remove the test from the sealed pouch and place it on a clean, level surface. Label the test with the patient or control ID. For the best results, the assay should be performed within one hour of opening the pouch.

2.A Dispense 3 drops of whole blood/serum/plasma into the sample well (S) of the device using the supplied disposable pipette, and start the timer.

Avoid trapping air bubbles in the sample well (S), and do not let any solution get onto the result area.

2.B Allow 3 hanging drops of fingertip whole blood to fall into the center of the sample well (S) of the test device, then start the timer.

Avoid trapping air bubbles in the sample well (S), and do not let any solution get onto the result area.

3. If the sample has not migrated across the membrane after 1 minute, add 1 drop of buffer to the sample well (S).

4. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read the result at 10 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
