Test Devices
The Mission
®
Cholesterol Test Devices are plastic devices that work with the
Mission
®
Cholesterol Meter to measure the lipid concentration in whole blood,
plasma and serum.
Test device appears as shown below:
The following test devices are currently available for use with the Mission
®
Cholesterol Meter:
3-in-1 Lipid Panel
Total cholesterol (CHOL) individual test device
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) individual test device
Triglyceride (TRIG) individual test device
The 3-in-1 Lipid Panel can detect CHOL, HDL and TRIG with one device
simultaneously. Calculated LDL and the ratio of CHOL/HDL can also be
calculated by the meter at the same time.
Insert Arrow: Located on the front of the test device, the arrows indicate the
direction in which the test device should be inserted into the meter.
Specimen Application Area: After the test device is inserted into the Device
Channel, apply the correct specimen volume (10µL for individual test devices
or 35µL for 3-in-1 test devices) to the region in the center of the test device.
Handle: Located on the end of the test device, the handle is used to insert
and remove the test device from the meter.
Test Area: Located on the back of the test device. The meter will detect and
read this area to give results of lipid levels.
Position Arrows: Located in the middle of the specimen application area (of
the test device). When a test device is inserted, the two arrows should be
parallel with the two arrows on the meter holder to make sure the test device is
inserted correctly.
