The STAT-Site® WB Dual Analyte Measurement System from EKF Diagnostics is used for the quantitative determination of β-ketones (Beta-Hydroxybutyrate or βHB) and glucose in capillary and venous blood. The STAT-Site® WB is intended for whole blood multiple-patient use in professional healthcare settings as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of a diabetes control program.
Diabetic patients with abnormally high levels of βHB are at risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). βHB is the predominant ketone body present in the blood during DKA. For this reason it is a more appropriate test than traditional nitroprusside reaction urine tests that do not measure βHB.
The STAT-Site® WB analyzer uses two different strips to provide results in just 10 seconds for β-ketones and 5 seconds for glucose allowing for clear and comprehensive management of diabetes patients displaying early signs of DKA to be quickly treated and then monitored on a regular basis.
