| PRODUCT NAME: |
ST AIA-PACK IRI |
| INTENDED USE: |
ST AIA-PACK IRI is designed for IN-VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE for the quantitative measurement of insulin (IRI) in human serum, heparinized plasma or EDTA plasma on Tosoh AIA immunoassay analyzers. |
| SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF TEST: |
Insulin is the antidiabetic hormone produced by the pancreatic B cell as a large proinsulin (containing of 109 amino acids). This peptide is rapidly converted by cleavage to proinsulin (containing of 86 amino acids). Equimolar quantities of insulin and C-peptide are produced through proteolytic cleavage and then secreted along with a small amount of proinsulin. In certain clinical types of diabetes, autologous insulin secretion is basically non-existent or defective and in these cases, the level of glucose is naturally elevated. The state of insulin secretion is ascertained by measuring the level of IRI with time as oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). On the other hand, in the case of fasting hypoglycemia, insulin assay is important for identifying the cause and is used for the diagnosis of insulinoma (pancreatic islet tumor). |
