As recommended in the universal definition, the 99th centile. This has
been independently validated and is correct.

With best wishes

Subject: Troponin I on Advia Centaur

I would be interested in the views of other users of this 
assay please -

As far as I can see from info in the kit insert

99th percentile = 0.04 ug/L

Cut -off for WHO definition for MI = 0.78 ug/L for this 
assay

What are others using for defining MI in their hospitals 
with this assay?

Many thanks

Rob
