Ingredients and Materials
The Homemed Cardiac Combo Test is a lateral-flow immunoassay (rapid cassette) that detects Troponin I and CK‑MB cardiac biomarkers using monoclonal antibody reagents embedded on a nitrocellulose strip. Kit contents typically include:
- Test cassette (lateral flow device)
- Single-use sterile lancet for fingerstick
- Capillary pipette or dropper
- Buffer solution (pre-measured dropper vial)
- Alcohol swab and adhesive bandage
- Instructions for use and result interpretation guide
Materials: plastic cassette, nitrocellulose membrane, reagent pads, buffer reagents. For single-patient use only.
How to Use
- Wash and dry hands thoroughly. Open the kit and read the instructions completely.
- Clean the fingertip with the included alcohol swab and allow to dry.
- Use the sterile lancet to perform a fingerstick and collect the required capillary blood with the pipette.
- Apply the blood sample to the sample well on the test cassette, then add the specified drops of buffer.
- Start a timer and read the result within the manufacturer-specified window (typically several minutes).
- Interpretation: control line confirms valid test. Presence of test line(s) indicates elevated biomarker(s). Follow the included interpretation guide and contact a healthcare professional for next steps.
