The NephroCheck Test System is a single-use cartridge designed to detect biomarkers of acute kidney injury, TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7. The test provides results in 20 minutes.

The test procedure involves the operator applying a fresh or thawed clinical urine sample (mixed with labeled fluorescent conjugate) to the NephroCheck Test Cartridge, then inserting the test cartridge into the Astute140 Meter for incubation, reading, result calculation and result display.

Each NephroCheck Test Cartridge contains RFID cards to ensure kit expiration date and lot-specific information is downloaded. Each cartridge also includes two detection zones (one positive and one negative control) as procedural controls that are run automatically with every sample to confirm that the NephroCheck Test procedure is performed correctly.

The NephroCheck Liquid Controls are two levels of external controls used for the quality control monitoring of the NephroCheck Test System. Good laboratory practice suggests that the NephroCheck Liquid Controls be tested:

• Every 30 days
• With each new lot number of NephroCheck Test Kits
• With each new shipment of NephroCheck Test Kits
• In accordance with the laboratory standard quality control procedures

The Astute140 Meter is a bench-top/tabletop analyzer that converts the fluorescent signal from each of the two biomarkers assays, TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7, contained within the test cartridge into a single numerical result.

The NephroCheck Test results are available on the Astute140 Meter in approximately 20 minutes.

The Astute140 Meter Kit has multiple quality checks:

• Calibrated at factory
• Internal system checked with each start-up
• External quality control procedure checks calibration
• Internal sensor ensures proper temperature operating range
