Making the right clinical decision demands accurate test results. But some tests for electrolyte balances can be unreliable, so it’s especially important to get it right.
We know that the dilution used in indirect ion selective electrode (ISE) electrolyte tests can cause inaccurately low electrolyte values, which can put some patients at risk of receiving the wrong diagnosis — and the wrong treatment. This can be dangerous for people living with cancer, diabetes, liver or kidney disorders, and other serious conditions.
That’s why VITROS® automated analyzers use direct — not indirect — ISE. VITROS® MicroSlide potentiometric slides and direct ISE mean there’s no serum dilution risk, so you can depend on the results.
VITROS® MicroSlide automated direct ISE analysis in your lab also eliminates the need for testing at points of care such as the emergency room or hospital bedsides. Since most automated analyzers in central hospital labs use indirect ISE to measure electrolytes, but point-of-care electrolyte testing is usually direct ISE, there’s a high risk for inconsistent results between the two. VITROS® MicroSlide automated direct ISE analysis allows your staff to perform multiple tests on one automated analyzer and removes the potential for error with rapid, accurate results from your lab — and that means rapid, accurate treatment decisions.
