( e other devices in this category a fin...)Analyzers Offer Point-of-Care Lipid Panels,Health

e other devices in this category, a fingerstick blood sample is mounted on a test strip and inserted in the analyzer. In this case, a separate strip is required for either glucose or total cholesterol testing. Three AAA batteries supply enough power for over 1000 tests. Test strips have a long shelf life and require no refrigeration.

In addition to the three devices described above, several cholesterol analyzers have been cleared for home use, and there is a range of test strips that do not require analyzer devices to test for total cholesterol.

Given the convenience and flexibility, clinical importance and interest to patients of this category of testing, it appears that point-of-care assessment of blood lipid values will continue to expand as a routine patient care activity. At the same time, the widespread competition in this field will likely yield even faster, more accurate and more comprehensive devices at even lower costs.
