HF Assessment With BNP In The Home

The HABIT clinical study is being performed to determine the benefit and optimal frequency
for at home testing of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) for heart failure patients following
hospitalization from decompensation. Subjects will be enrolled following hospitalization for
decompensated heart failure. Enrolled subjects will be trained on the use of the Triage
Touch meter for fingerstick BNP assessment; these subjects will then test their BNP levels
daily using the Triage Touch product for approximately 60 days.

This is a multi-center, single-arm double-blinded prospective clinical study to determine
the optimal frequency of home B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) testing and the changes in
BNP concentrations that correlate with clinical heart failure (HF) decompensation and
related adverse clinical outcomes in at-risk HF patients. Approximately 200 subjects will be
enrolled.
