Device description
The Sonoclot Coagulation & Platelet Function Analyzer System is an in vitro diagnostic device for measuring coagulation and platelet function. This system has two configurations. The historic configuration is a Sonoclot Analyzer connected to a thermal graphics printer. The standard configuration is a Sonoclot Analyzer connected to a computer running Sonoclot Viewer data collection software.The Sonoclot Analyzer System rapidly provides information on the entire hemostasis process including coagulation, fibrin gel formation, clot retraction (platelet function) and fibrinolysis. The Sonoclot Analyzer System generates a qualitative graph, known as the Sonoclot Signature, and quantitative results on the clot formation time (Activated Clotting Time-Onset), the rate of fibrin polymerization (Clot Rate), and clot retraction (Platelet Function). This information can be used to identify numerous coagulopathies including platelet dysfunction, factor deficiencies, anticoagulant effect, hypercoagulable tendencies and hyperfibrinolysis. Different disposable tests are available for use with the Sonoclot Analyzer System for different applications.
A mains electricity (AC-powered) instrument, which may include internal rechargeable batteries, 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 include spectrophotometry, turbidimetry, nephelometry, electrometry and/or mechanical means of clot formation or end point detection.
