For Chronic Disease

Lp(a) and ApoB are advanced risk biomarkers, independently linked to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). They play a crucial role in the early detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of cardiovascular health. 

For Patients

No more traditional venous blood draws. With just a single fingertip blood sample, testing becomes quick, easy, and minimally invasive—reducing discomfort while enabling more accessible and routine monitoring.

Lab-Quality Results, Anytime, Anywhere

Perfect for screening, rapid decision-making, 
and point-of-care testing.

The iProtin System brings laboratory precision to the 
point of care:

  • Just one drop of finger-prick blood (5 μL)
  • No centrifugation or extra preparation required
  • Quick and effortless operation
  • Compact, portable iProtin Reader
  • Get reliable results in only 3 minutes

Cardiovascular Risk Indicators

Assess heart health with advanced biomarkers:

• ApoB: Stronger predictor of LDL particle levels,
providing reliable insights even in patients with high
triglycerides

• hsCRP: Measures systemic inflammation to support
ASCVD risk assessment

• Lp(a): Genetic risk factor that may require medical
intervention

With the iProtin System – Evaluate ASCVD risk 
quickly and conveniently at the point of care, giving 
physicians real-time insights for diagnosis, 
monitoring, and digital health management.

Risk-Based ApoB Goal Levels

• Very high-risk population: <65 mg/dL
• High-risk population: <80 mg/dL
• Moderate-risk patients: <100 mg/dL

European Heart Journal, Volume 41, Issue 1, 1 January 2020, Pages 111–188.

Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk: 
Lp(a) and CRP/hsCRP

Lp(a) level >50 mg/dL (>125 nmol/L): Considered as a 
CV risk-enhancing factor.

European Heart Journal, ehaf190, 29 August 2025.

CRP/hsCRP levels:

• <0.1 mg/dL: Desirable range, associated with an extremely low risk of cardiovascular diseases.

• 0.1-0.3 mg/dL: Moderate CVD risk range. Recommend regular follow-up.

• 0.3-1 mg/dL: High CVD risk range, potentially linked to bacterial infection. Recommend regular follow-up. 

• >1 mg/dL: Acute inflammation. Immediate medical attention is needed.

Circulation, Volume 108, Issue 12, 23 September 2003; Pages e81-e85.
