Cippoint Pct 25 Fast Test Kit 1

Cippoint Pct 25 Fast Test Kit is used for providing quantitative detection of Procalcitonin (PCT) levels in human serum, plasma, whole blood or fingertip blood samples. It helps support the clinical evaluation of patients suspected of bacterial infections, trauma or shock. The test uses immunofluorescence assay technology based on a lateral flow method, allowing healthcare professionals to obtain accurate and timely results. Designed for use with Getein analysers, it may help promote better decision-making in critical care settings by providing essential information about PCT concentration.

• Quantitative Measurement of Procalcitonin (PCT): This kit helps support accurate and rapid quantification of PCT levels in human blood samples, including serum, plasma and whole blood.
   
• Assessment of Bacterial Infections: It may help support the clinical evaluation of patients suspected of having bacterial infections by identifying elevated PCT levels, which are often associated with bacterial origin.
   
• Monitoring of Severe Inflammatory Conditions: The test may help promote early detection of conditions such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis by indicating changes in PCT concentrations.
   
• Differentiation Between Bacterial and Non-Bacterial Conditions: It helps support the distinction between bacterial infections and other non-bacterial inflammatory causes, helping healthcare professionals in selecting more appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic approaches.
   
• Evaluation in Cases of Trauma or Shock: The test may help support the assessment of PCT levels in patients experiencing trauma or shock, which can be critical in early diagnosis and timely intervention.
   
• Guidance in Therapy and Antibiotic Stewardship: Elevated or declining PCT values may help promote informed decision-making regarding the use or discontinuation of antibiotic therapy, supporting more responsible medication use and potentially reducing unnecessary prescriptions.

• Refer to the instruction manual provided with the kit for detailed usage directions.
