Zoetis – Vetscan Avian/Reptilian Profile Plus – Pack of 12

1. Intended Use
The VetScan® Avian/Reptilian Profile Plus reagent rotor used with the VetScan Whole Blood Analyzer utilizes dry and liquid reagents to provide in vitro quantitative determinations of aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), bile acids (BA), creatine kinase (CK), uric acid (UA), glucose (GLU), total calcium (CA++), phosphorus (PHOS), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin* (GLOB), potassium (K+ ), sodium (Na+ ) in heparinized whole blood, heparinized plasma, or serum.
* Calculated Value

2. Summary and Explanation of Tests
NOTE: Samples should be run as “Other” species (animal type) when running the Avian/Reptilian Profile Plus Rotor. The albumin (ALB) method has specific calibration factors, which are stored in this key function. Please refer to the VetScan Operator’s Manual for additional information. The VetScan Avian/Reptilian Profile Plus reagent rotor and the VetScan Whole Blood Analyzer comprise an in vitro diagnostic system that aids the veterinarian in diagnosing the following disorders: Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) Liver disease, muscle damage. Bile Acids (BA) Hepatobiliary disease; portosystemic vascular anomaly (PSVA); extrahepatic shunting. Creatine Kinase (CK) Muscle damage, used in conjunction with AST to differentiate between liver and muscle damage. Uric Acid (UA) Best indicator of renal health in almost all birds and reptiles. Glucose (GLU) Severe liver disease; sepsis; anorexia; pancreatic disease. Phosphorous (PHOS) Renal and nutritional disease; fluid balance. Calcium (CA++) Egg production; bone and renal disease Total Protein (TP) Liver, gastrointestinal, and kidney disease; dehydration. Albumin (ALB) Liver and kidney disease. Globulin (GLOB) Globulin recovery is calculated from the TP and ALB. Dehydration; antigenic stimulation. Potassium (K+ ) Indicator of cell lysis, and fluid balance. Sodium (Na+ ) Indicator of fluid balance and dehydration.
