Atellica® VTLi
Patient-side Immunoassay AnalyzerA vital leap forward in cardiac testing
When a patient enters the emergency department presenting with the symptoms of a myocardial infarction (MI), every moment is critical. Achieving favorable clinical and operational outcomes requires fast and accurate chest pain assessment at the point of care, as well as coordination with the laboratory for quality assurance. Having high-sensitivity troponin testing at the point of care—producing accurate results in just 8 minutes—could transform care delivery for millions of people each year, improving ED throughput, reducing stress and strain on acute care clinicians, and aiding in optimizing the use of time and resources of busy laboratories.
Benefits
Simple to use and easily integrated into existing systems, the Atellica® VTLi Patient-side Immunoassay Analyzer, powered by Magnotech® Technology, delivers accurate, clinically actionable high-sensitivity troponin I results directly in the hands of those who need it most.
The Atellica VTLi system streamlines chest pain assessment, aiding in earlier disposition decisions for patients not having an MI and fast interventions for those who are.
The Atellica VTLi system will aid in transforming your chest pain assessment process to benefit patients, clinicians, and operational workflow.

- Sample type flexibility: The system can produce results on lithium-heparin whole blood, lithium-heparin plasma, and capillary samples.
- Sample volume: minimum of 30 µL of blood required to perform the test.
- Test results are sent securely through our POC Ecosystem™ Solution via WI-FI or Ethernet for storage in the LIS/HIS and EMR.

The cartridge is disposable (single-use), with no warm-up time from refrigerated storage. Each disposable cartridge is identified by a unique Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip, that contains information on the type of test, calibration data, and lot-specific information.
- Instructs the instrument to automatically starts the correct assay protocol
- Integrated assay quality control in every cartridge

Troponin: High-Sensitivity vs. Contemporary
- Contemporary assays must detect cTn in 20% to <50% of healthy individuals.
- High-sensitivity assays must detect cTn in at least 50% of healthy individuals and must have <10% CV at the 99th percentile of normal.
- Units of measure:
- Contemporary: ng/mL
- High-sensitivity: ng/L
