It is also important for medical device producers to carry out their bioburden tests for validation of sterilisation just prior to the product being sterilised. âIf product is being left around on shelves, companies need to redo the bioburden tests, as bioburden may have changed during storage,â said Rose.
Blood tests play an important role in confirming â or ruling out â heart conditions such as coronary artery disease and heart failure. 1  Blood tests can measure these and other biomarkers: 2  B-type natriuretic peptides (BNP) produced by the heart to help the body eliminate fluids from the body. High levels of BNP can signal damage to the heart muscle and heart failure. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) tests for elevated levels of urea nitrogen, a sign of kidney failure. BUN is often tested when heart failure is suspected. C-reactive protein produced by the liver in response to injury (inflammatory disease).
