The stand-alone, battery-powered POC coagulation test system is used wherever the test results are needed, directly at the patient, at the bed, in the practice, in the laboratory, on the way, etc.
The coagulation test is performed by inserting a parameter-dependent cassette into the instrument and applying a 20 µl drop of blood into the intended sample well of the cassette. The coagulometer contains a test chamber in which the cassette is heated to the required temperature of 37C° and performs the test after start-up.
The disposable test cartridge contains a rotating spoke wheel that draws the blood sample into a reaction chamber after application. The spokes rotate through the path of an infrared light beam and mix the liquid blood sample with the reagent in the reaction chamber. When the sample clots, the clot is picked up by the spokes, interrupting the path of the infrared light beam. An internal timer measures the time passed between the start of the test and clot formation.
During the test, the coagulation time (in seconds) is displayed. The PT results are also displayed as International Normalized Ratio (INR).
Available coagulation parameters: Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), activated clotting time (ACT), thrombin time (TZ) and fibrinogen (FIB).
ALL IN ONE and READY TO GO
- closed system, no additional reagent or consumables are needed
- only 2 working steps: Place the test cassette in the coagulometer, add the sample, ready!
- No calibration and/or calibration curve preparation or test data input necessary
- The measurement results match the laboratory values, as the test procedure (no dry chemistry) corresponds to the laboratory method.
- Convenient operation thanks to "step by step" menu navigation via an easy-to-read colour touch display
- Storage of test kits at room temperature (4C° - 30C°)
