6-8 million people present to US Emergency Departments every year with suspected Myocardial Infarction (MI).3
Only 8-15% are having an MI so, in theory, the majority could be discharged.4
Emergency departments continually face the challenge of rapidly diagnosing and triaging patients with chest pain.5
Biomarkers can help clarify the clinical picture. Timely action on cardiac laboratory results is critical and may improve patient outcomes.6
For an assay to be considered a high-sensitivity troponin assay, the following criteria should be met:
| Alinity i hstni_STAT8 | ARCHITECT hsTnI_STAT9 | |||||
| 99th percentile | CV at medical decision points | % of peope detected at ≥LoD10 | 99th percentile | CV at medical decision points | % of peope detected at ≥LoD10 | |
| Female | 14 ng/L | 2.7% at 13.9 ng/L | 63.4% | 17 ng/L | 5.0% | 54.12% |
| Male | 35 ng/L | 2.0% at 36.9 ng/L | 87.3% | 35ng/L | 4.1% | 77.42% |
| Overall | 27 ng/L | 3.3% at 20.3 ng/L | 75.3% | 28 ng/L | 4.3% | 65.77% |

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
The Alinity i and ARCHITECT STAT High-Sensitivity Troponin-I assays are chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassays (CMIA) used for the quantitative determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in human plasma (lithium heparin on Alinity i or dipotassium {K2} edta on ARCHITECT) on the Alinity i and ARCHITECT systems.
The Alinity i and ARCHITECT STAT High Sensitivity Troponin-I assays are to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI).
