Biosite® Incorporated Introduces Triage® MeterPro(TM)
Third-Generation Testing Platform with Enhanced Features and Benefits to Premier at AACC
SAN DIEGO, July 24 -- Biosite(R) Incorporated (NASDAQ:BSTE) today announced the premiere of its third-generation testing platform, the Triage(R) MeterPro(TM), at the American Association for Clinical Chemistry 2006 Annual Meeting, to be held in Chicago from July 23 through 27, 2006. The Triage MeterPro combines Biosite's rapid, easy-to-use technology with a more convenient user interface. The Triage MeterPro's user-friendly features will make testing even easier to perform, while maintaining the high quality and performance standards of the existing Triage Meter platform.
Enhancements to the Triage MeterPro include an alphanumeric keypad, 75 percent larger display, backlighting and faster printing. The Triage Meters also feature "Test Select(TM)," which gives healthcare providers the flexibility to customize test menus based on physician preference or patient presentation when using Triage Test Panels with multiple analytes. This allows customers to use the same multi-analyte Triage Panel but choose which assays to run at the time of testing.
The Triage MeterPro is a portable, rapid testing platform designed to provide rapid, quantitative or qualitative results for immunoassays using urine, whole-blood or plasma and features comprehensive built-in quality control capabilities. Biosite's current and future Triage tests will continue to be compatible with the Triage MeterPro and the Triage MeterPlus. The Triage MeterPro is now available in the United States and will launch internationally in the second half of 2006.
