The gbACT+ Kit is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for use with the Sonoclot® Coagulation & Platelet Function Analyzer System. The gbACT+ test is a glass bead activated whole blood clotting time test. It may also be used with citrated whole blood and plasma. Warning: The gbACT+ test is not intended for high dose heparin management during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.The gbACT+ Kit is intended for general purpose global hemostasis monitoring including: clot detection, fibrin formation, platelet function, and hyperfibrinolysis. The monitoring information is typically used for anticoagulant management at low to moderate heparin levels (0 to 2 units per ml), hypercoagulable and/or hypocoagulable screening, platelet function assessment, and hyperfibrinolysis screening.When used with the Sonoclot Analyzer System, the gbACT+ test provides quantitative Onset/ACT and Clot Rate results as well as qualitative and quantitative information on the Sonoclot Signature including: fibrin formation, platelet function, and hyperfibrinolysis.Each kit contains 24 lidded pink plastic activation cuvettes, 24 probes, and instructions for use. The activation cuvettes contain a controlled amount of glass beads and a magnetic stir bar.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative determination of multiple makers associated with coagulation including coagulation factors, intermediates and/or their activated components, functional tests [activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT)] and/or physiological anticoagulants (e.g., antithrombin III) in a clinical specimen, using a clotting method.
