The Mission
®
Cholesterol Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative
determination of Total Cholesterol (CHOL), High-Density Lipoprotein
Cholesterol (HDL), Triglycerides (TRIG), calculated Low-Density Lipoprotein
Cholesterol (LDL), and the calculated ratio of CHOL/HDL in capillary and
venous human whole blood, plasma, and serum. Professionals can also
evaluate a patient’s 10-year risk of Coronary Heart Disease with this system.
The easy-to-operate system consists of a portable meter that analyzes the
intensity and color of light reflected from the reagent area of a test device,
ensuring quick and accurate results.
The Mission
®
Cholesterol Monitoring System provides results in less than 2
minutes. The meter can store up to 200 results and records can be
transferred to a computer for further analysis using the USB port. The meter
can be operated with 4 AAA (1.5V) batteries or an optional AC adapter.
To ensure accurate results:
Read instructions carefully and complete any necessary training before
use.
Use the code chip that is included in each box of test devices.
