The Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc. MESOMARK® is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of soluble mesothelin related peptides (SMRP) in serum. Measurement of SMRP may aid in the management of patients diagnosed with epithelioid or biphasic mesothelioma. Epidemiologic studies have established exposure to asbestos fibers as the primary cause of malignant mesothelioma. Results obtained with different assay methods or kits cannot be used interchangeably. Humanitarian Device. Authorized by Federal Law for use as an aid in the management of patients diagnosed with biphasic or epithelioid mesothelioma. The effectiveness of this device for this use has not been demonstrated. |
