Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer of Creatine Kinase-MB Test Kits.
AccuQuik Creatine Kinase-MB test kit provides high-quality and accurate Creatine Kinase detection. Creatine Kinase MB test kit measures Creatine Kinase in the blood, serum, and plasma.
This test is suitable when the patient suffers from chest pain or when a patient’s diagnosis is unclear. Creatine Kinase MB were primary tests for monitoring heart attacks until gotten replaced by troponin tests that are more heart-centered. When troponin test is not available CK-MB test kit is used. Creatine Kinase MB test kit is used as valuable information to distinguish between skeletal muscle and heart muscle damage. After a heart attack, you can detect a second heart attack or monitor additional heart damage with the help of the test results.
Increase in CK-MB is detected with a heart attack about 3-6 hours after the chest pain. Usually the CK-MB peaks in 12-24 hours after which it either raises or lowers. If a second heart attack or heart damage will happen then CK-MB levels could rise or stay elevated. The heart is probably damaged if CK-MB ratio to total CK (relative index) is more than 2.5-3. If it is below this value, then skeletal muscles were damaged.

Additional Information
Creatine Kinase-MB (CK-MB) is an enzyme usually found in heart muscle cells.
Our body makes three forms of Creatine Kinase, one of them is Creatine Kinase-MB. Creatine Kinase appears in the heart, muscles, intestines, brain, and uterus. During a heart attack, the injured heart muscle cells release Creatine Kinase-MB. This test helps the healthcare professional to know if the heart attack occurred.
Timing is important when taking the test. Taking the test too soon right after a heart attack can have false negative results.

Usage
Bring tests, specimens to room temperature (between 15 and 30°C) before use. Then, remove the test from its sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. For best results, the test should be performed within one hour after opening. Continue the testing by placing the test device on a clean and level surface.
Next, for serum or plasma specimens, hold vertically and transfer 2 drops of serum or plasma (50μl) to the specimen well of the test device, then start the timer. Hold the strip by the end, where the product name is printed. To avoid contamination, do not touch the strip membrane.
As an alternative, you can transfer 3 drops of whole blood specimen (75μl) to the specimen well of the device with the provided disposable pipette, then add 1 drop of buffer and start the timer.
Your third option is to allow 3 hanging drops of fingerstick whole blood specimen to fall into the center of the specimen well on the device, then adding 1 drop of buffer and starting the timer. In any case, avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well, and do not add any solution to the result area. As the test begins to work, the color will migrate across the membrane.
Wait for the colored band(s) to appear. Keep in mind that results should be read at 10 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
