Vitros® Troponin I ES Assay
Assay sensitivity and precision deliver reliable short-term and long-term risk information for patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Vitros Troponin I ES Assay
Performs competitively with currently available 5th-generation high-sensitivity Troponin assays
Meets American College of Cardiology/European Society Cardiology guidelines for acceptable imprecision in a high-sensitivity assay (10% coefficient of variation at the 99th percentile)
Enables accelerated rule-in/rule-out algorithms with validated clinical performance at the 99th percentile upper reference limit of normal
Helps ensure that actionable results are reported with analyzer’s automated sample indices
False positive Troponin T results have been reported in patients with kidney disease.1 Troponin I biomarker elevations are more specific for myocardial damage than Troponin T elevations.2

Vitros® High-Sensitivity Troponin Assay*
Provides high analytical sensitivity and precision for the detection of small changes at the 99th percentile, enabling early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
Vitros High-Sensitivity Troponin assay*
Features a high negative predictive value that helps reduce emergency department crowding and requires fewer tests to rule out
Meets all International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) requirements for classification as a high-sensitivity troponin assay
Shows excellent prognostic value as an aid in the assessment of cardiac-related mortality/MI and all-cause mortality over 30 days and 12 months
Is compliant for use with guidelines for management of acute coronary syndrome, including ESC, AHA and NICE
*Vitros High-Sensitivity Troponin Assay is not available in all countries. Please check with your local QuidelOrtho representative for availability.
Vitros® NT-proBNP II Assay
NT-proBNP II is more stable than BNP, an important feature when samples must be transported.1
Vitros NT-proBNP II assay:
Validated for use with ICON age-specific, cutoffs, which optimize diagnosis decisions, accounting for age and renal function with better specificity of acute dyspnea cases1-5
Long calibration interval at 70 days
Automated, on-the-fly loading of consumables and reagents with no interruptions
Intelligent sampling order to balance processing demands
Correlates well with most other NT-proBNP assays5
