Detailed Description
A prospective clinical sample collection and NT-proBNP testing will be conducted in two populations. Patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) and patients presenting to outpatient centers will be approached for enrollment. Clinical and laboratory data will be collected to demonstrate product performance compared to adjudicated clinical diagnosis. Approximately 4300 evaluable subjects at geographically dispersed sites in the US will be enrolled in the study. Sample collection and testing of clinical samples with the VITROS NT-proBNP II assay will be performed under two separate protocols.
