Hi all. I am begnning to have conversations in our ambulatory locations for Pediatric Lipid testing. This is becoming a standard practice for our pediatric provicers.

What Lipid testing do you use in ambulatory locations?
Is it pediatric friendly?
Is it interfaceable?

Thanks!
Erika

The Piccolo Xpress would be a great option. They have a Lipid Panel test that is CLIA Waived w/ results in 12 mins and very easy to Interface!

Hi Erika :)
We use the Cholestech from Abbott in our clinics. It is not interfaceable but we use our Nova MTE to have the staff enter the results. We have been using them since 2024, feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Abbott Cholestech LDX, preparing to interface through RALS, capillary collections are pediatric friendly - well, not from the child's perspective

Karla, are you guys doing a direct interface from the Cholestech? I didn't think it was possible since you can't enter any information into the instrument. If you do, please share how. :)
