Product: Siemens Healthcare BNP (8-type Natriuretic Peptide) 500 Test kit 02816634 100 Test 02816138 10309045, 10309044 028 Intended Use For in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in human plasma using the ADVIA Centaur and ADVIA Centaur XP systems. This assay is indicated for the measurement of plasma BNP as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of the severity of heart failure. In patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), this test, in conjunction with other known risk factors, can also be used to predict survival as well as to predict the likelihood of future heart failure.. Reason: Operating range of the ADVIA Centaur systems is 18¿C to 30¿C (64.4¿F to 86.0¿F), a change in room temperature may increase or decrease assay results, depending on the specific assay and ADVIA Centaur system used..
