The CARDIAC M test is a point-of-care diagnostic test for use with the cobas h 232 analyzer and serves for the qualitative determination of cardiac markers from venous whole blood. It is intended for professional in-vitro diagnostic use and supports the timely assessment in cases of suspected acute cardiac events.
The test is used particularly in the context of acute diagnostics in patients with chest pain or other cardiological symptoms. It allows for a rapid, preliminary assessment in clinical settings, such as emergency rooms, hospitals, doctors' offices, or in mobile settings.
The test is performed close to the patient at the point of care, requiring a minimal sample volume of EDTA or heparinized whole blood. Test results are available within minutes and can be integrated into standardized diagnostic workflows.
The CARDIAC M-Test is specifically designed for the cobas h 232 system and for simple, safe use by healthcare professionals. The results serve as diagnostic support and should always be evaluated within the overall clinical context.
