The Xprecia Prime™ Coagulation System, which includes the INR Coagulation Analyzer (Meter) and PT/INR Test Strips, is for the determination of International Normalized Ratio (INR) for the monitoring of oral anticoagulation therapy with Warfarin (a vitamin K antagonist) in fresh capillary whole blood from a fingerstick. The results are reported in INR as well as in seconds. It is intended to be used to monitor patients 18 years of age or older who are stable on vitamin K antagonist therapy for at least six weeks and is not intended for use in patients who are transitioning from heparin treatment to vitamin K antagonist therapy. The Xprecia Prime™ Coagulation System is an in-vitro diagnostic device intended for multi-patient use in professional healthcare settings including CLIA Waived and Point of care settings.
An exclusively battery-powered instrument intended to be used exclusively at the point-of-care by medical professionals for the qualitative and/or quantitative in vitro determination of one or multiple coagulation components involved in haemostasis in a clinical specimen [e.g., performs tests such as whole blood prothrombin time (WBPT), whole blood partial thromboplastin time (WBPTT), heparin dose response, activated clotting time (ACT)]. It may incorporate spectrophotometry, turbidimetry, nephelometry, electrometry and/or mechanical means of clot formation or end point detection.
