Cholestech Corporation (Nasdaq: CTEC) announces that the FDA has granted CLIA waived status to the Company's newest test panel, Lipid Profile ALT. The new test panel, designed for use with the Cholestech LDX® System, combines an ALT test with a lipid profile, providing total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) results from a single fingerstick.

By testing at the point of care, the Lipid Profile ALT test allows physicians in the US to immediately assess elevated cholesterol levels and liver damage at the same time allowing for medication dosage adjustments and safety monitoring on-the-spot.
