Product Overview

The RAMP® 200 Cardiac Diagnostic System from Response Biomedical is a compact, automated platform for quantitative cardiovascular testing. Its modular design combines one control module with one to three dual-port test modules, allowing laboratories to begin with two testing positions and expand to as many as six.

RAMP cardiovascular assays use single-use test cartridges and lot-specific information stored on a lot card. After the prepared cartridge is inserted, the instrument identifies the assay, checks the cartridge information and calculates an objective quantitative result. Average time to result is approximately 15 minutes, depending on the assay.

Important: For U.S. customers, the RAMP Platform must be operated in a laboratory setting when used with the RAMP portfolio of tests. Testing requirements, specimen type, intended use and regulatory status are assay-specific; always review the applicable Instructions for Use.

Approximately 15 Minutes

The platform provides rapid quantitative results, with timing dependent on the selected RAMP assay.

Up to Six Simultaneous Tests

Each dual-port test module runs two cartridges, and the control module supports up to three test modules.

Built-In Process Controls

Lot-card recognition, cartridge checks, self-diagnostics and internal quality-control functions support standardized operation.

Key Features

  • Modular configuration with one control module and one to three dual-port test modules
  • Run two, four or six tests simultaneously, depending on the installed configuration
  • Average time to result of approximately 15 minutes for the cardiovascular menu
  • Published throughput of approximately 18–36 tests per hour with three test modules, depending on assay timing and workflow
  • Run the same assay or different compatible assays for the same or different patients at the same time
  • Bright touchscreen interface with English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German and Chinese language options
  • Lot-specific assay information and calibration entered through preprogrammed lot cards
  • Automatic checks for used or expired cartridges and missing lot information
  • Self-diagnostic and internal electronic quality-control functions
  • Programmable external liquid quality-control ranges and lockout functions
  • Multiple access levels, including optional operator lockout and expiration settings
  • LAN and USB connectivity with optional barcode scanner and printer accessories

A Simple Three-Step Testing Process

1

Prepare the Sample

Prepare the patient specimen and test cartridge according to the assay-specific Instructions for Use.

2

Insert the Cartridge

Insert the prepared cartridge into an available test-module port. The system verifies the assay and lot information.

3

Review the Result

The RAMP 200 reads the fluorescent signal, applies the assay-specific calculation and displays the quantitative result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each test module contains two testing ports. A RAMP 200 control module can be configured with one, two or three test modules, allowing two, four or six tests to run simultaneously.

The published average time to result is approximately 15 minutes. Exact processing time and workflow requirements depend on the selected assay and its Instructions for Use.

The 2024 cardiovascular brochure lists RAMP NT-proBNP, Troponin I, CK-MB and Myoglobin. The RAMP RSV Test is also linked on this page as an additional assay for a compatible RAMP platform. Confirm current assay availability and order each test kit and control separately unless included in the quotation.

The instrument uses preprogrammed lot cards containing assay- and lot-specific information. According to the product materials, routine user calibration is not required. Laboratories should still follow the operator manual, assay Instructions for Use and applicable quality-control requirements.

Compatible RAMP assays can be run in separate ports for the same or different patients. Each cartridge must be prepared and processed according to its assay-specific Instructions for Use.

Internal electronic quality-control functions are built into the platform, and external liquid quality-control materials are available. Confirm the controls required for each assay and your laboratory’s QC policy before implementation.

Do not apply one CLIA-complexity designation to the analyzer as a whole. Regulatory status and testing requirements are assay-specific. For U.S. customers, the current cardiovascular brochure states that the RAMP Platform must be operated in a laboratory setting when used with the RAMP portfolio of tests.

Confirm the number of test modules, included accessories, barcode scanner or printer needs, connectivity requirements, installation, training, service coverage, test kits, controls and the catalog number assigned to the quoted configuration.
