What is the PREVU* Point of Care (POC) Skin Sterol Test?
The PREVU* POC Test is an in vitro diagnostic test that aids in the risk assessment of patients suspected of having coronary artery disease (CAD) by measuring skin cholesterol (also referred to as skin tissue cholesterol or SkinTc). The PREVU* POC Test is a rapid (5-minute) procedure and non-invasive. Clinical trials have shown skin cholesterol assessment to be an effective approach for stratifying persons at risk for CAD.
