For performance-diagnostic and training-control

For recreational or performance sports as well as rehabilitation in cardiac and pulmonary diseases. Lactate, the salt of lactic acid, occurs during physical stress. There’s a relationship between the lactate-concentration in the blood and the intensity. As a rule: the more intense the muscular demands, the higher the lactate-value. The instant measuring of the blood’s lactate-level with Accutrend Lactate therefore affords the choice of the individually correct training-intensity, sensible balance between stressing muscles and relaxation, reduction of over-stressing and danger of injury.

In the clinic and emergency medicine

The lactate-value reflects the extend of a hypoxia in the tissue. Its value can therefore be used for the prognosis of morbidity and mortality. There is a connection between level of injury and level of lactate-concentration. The repeated control of lactate after 12 hours, additionally enables the prognosis for patient survival. Lactate-determination is therefore indispensable in many emergency situations: i.e. with shock, cardio-vascular diseases, heart-failure, and cardiac arrest.

• simple and quick lactate-diagnostic
• requires just 15-50 µl blood
• results in 60 sec.
• memory for 100 values

Test strips for lactate analysis.

Lactate test strip set with 24 or 72 of the sensors.

The new Braun ThermoScan IRT 4520 infrared thermometer provides measurements of high accuracy, reliability and patient convenience. Short measurement period, pre-warmed infrared tip and ergonomic shape of thermometer result in maximum patient comfort during temperature taking. The exclusive ExacTemp? technology provides an active user feedback system to ensure proper positioning and improved accuracy.The probe tip does not require frequent disinfection as it is protected by disposable covers which prevent spreading of infections between patients.

Medichem meditrol Troponin I is a fast test for qualitatively detecting Troponin I. Troponins are complex proteins occurring in skeleton and heart muscle, in which the subunit C is responsible for binding calcium, T, for binding tropomysin and I, for binding actin. This complex protein, together with myosin and actin, builds the moving part of the musculature.

This test is very well suited for detecting troponin. It produces a useable result for you in a relatively short time.

• test with whole blood, serum or plasma
• includes sampling pipettes
• results in only 15 minutes
• can be stored at room temperature

Ideal for emergency applications, home visit and the infarct monitoring.

The new CLEARTEST Cardio rapid indicates an infarction just after 20 minutes. At the moment this is the fastest biomarker with a detection limit of 0,5 ng/ml.

With this rapid test 2 proteins are detectable:
– hFABP, which is released when a heart attack occurs (just after 20 minutes), perfect as well for the re-infarction monitoring on the 4th day.
– TROPONIN I, which arises after 8 hours and can be detected up to 8 days.
Note: Troponin T (manufacturer Roche) indicates an infarction only after 3 hours.

The testing procedure is truly simple and easy:
Only one drop of whole blood, serum, or plasma is needed for the specimen well. You can read the result exactly after 10 minutes.
Storage at room temperature.
