Trust the first point-of-care (POC) high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assay in the U.S.
The PATHFAST Analyzer accelerates urgent cardiac care decisions in the Emergency Department (ED) with reliable, lab-quality testing at the point of care.
PATHFAST provides highly accurate, lab-quality results from whole blood samples using a combination of chemiluminescence and proprietary Magtration® technology.

Eliminating preanalytical delays associated with core-laboratory testing has been shown to:
Accelerate care decisions by 40 minutes1Reduce length of stay by 34 minutes1With PATHFAST, EDs can access an optimal solution to accelerate the assessment and disposition of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
hs-cTn is the preferred assay for aiding in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).2
Access to quicker test results can help clinicians identify urgent cardiac concerns sooner, reduce length of stay, and improve patient satisfaction.

NT-proBNP is used to aid in the diagnosis of patients with suspected congestive acute heart failure (CHF). Rapid results at the point of care inform rapid risk stratification and admission decisions.
More accurate diagnosis and improved risk stratification for patients with acute dyspnea7
Strongest independent predictor of a final diagnosis of acute CHF8
NT-proBNP plus clinical judgment is superior to either alone8
PATHFAST is the only point-of-care system to offer both hs-cTnI-II and NT-proBNP, two gold-standard cardiac biomarker tests, on a single platform.
PATHFAST facilitates decisions for a range of assays including:
hs-cTnI-IIcTnI-IID-DimerCK-MBNT-proBNPhs-CRPMyoglobinPolymedco is committed to being one of the easiest companies to do business within healthcare. We work closely with laboratorians, clinicians, and administrators to maximize the value of our tests in every ED.
