Hematocrit test kit i-STAT ACTc

coagulationfibrinogenthrombin

With i-STAT ACT, healthcare professionals can measure the time required for complete activation of the coagulation cascade. i-STAT ACT is similar to traditional ACT tests except that the endpoint is indicated by a chemical measurement of the presence of thrombin instead of a mechanical measurement of a physical clot. i-STAT ACT provides clinicians a with-patient ACT test that is more reliable and reproducible, enabling more accurate heparin dose adjustments. Benefits In a study that compared the precision and reliability of i-STAT Kaolin ACT with Hemochron Signature Elite and Medtronic ACT Plus, i-STAT ACT demonstrated better performance and was less susceptible to external factors such as temperature, dilution, hematocrit, fibrinogen levels, and user technique. SPECIFICATIONS ACTC - INTENDED USE The i-STAT Celite Activated Clotting Time (CeliteACT) test is an in vitro diagnostic test that uses fresh, whole blood, and is useful for monitoring patients receiving heparin for treatment of pulmonary embolism or venous thrombosis, and for monitoring anticoagulation therapy in patients undergoing medical procedures such as catheterization, cardiac surgery, surgery, organ transplant, and dialysis.
