RAMP® NT-proBNP Test

Product Description

The RAMP^® NT-proBNP test is an FDA cleared whole blood immunoassay BNP test, with proprietary RAMP technology, which detects the levels of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide in patients with congestive heart failure. This product will help physicians and patients where a traditional BNP test cannot.

MANAGING PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE

• 1 out of 4 patients will be readmitted within 30 days of discharge, the highest rate of readmission of any discharge diagnosis
• 1 in 5 patients diagnosed with heart failure die within the first year and about half of people who develop heart failure die within 5 years of diagnosis
• Heart failure often presents with non-specific symptoms and is frequently confused with pneumonia or COPD
• Heart attacks and Coronary Heart Disease are two of the most expensive conditions to treat.

RAMP NT-proBNP TEST

• Provides rapid, accurate diagnoses and assessment of congestive heart failure.
• NT-proBNP is roughly 5 times more stable of a biomarker then BNP
• Better accuracy in mild heart failure patients because the levels of NT-proBNP are 2-10x higher
• Standardized to Roche Elecsys Lab Analyzer
