Dialab GmbH 1.4.2 TEST METHODS Following test are provided to detect of the human coagulation system, which can be bleeding or thrombosis and the monitoring of anti-coagulation drugs like Heparin or Marcumar. DIAcheck series Test Name Specimen Method Prothrombin Time...
Dialab GmbH 1.4.4 PRINCIPLE OF MEASURMENT The detection of plasma clotting is based on a photometric principle. No mechanical aids like mixing bars are required. Blood plasma is filled into a cuvette. Special reagents are added, which initiate the blood coagulation. The cuvette is transmitted by ultra violet light during the coagulation process.
Dialab GmbH 1.4.5 CLOTTING METHOD (PT, APTT,..) FIGURE 4: DETERMINATION OF TURNING POINT IN CLOTTING METHOD The final reaction in the coagulation cascade is the transformation of fibrinogen into fibrin catalyzed by thrombin. Fibrin formation results in clouding (higher turbidimetric level) in the sample, which is measured by the photometer and stored as the extinction.
1.5.2 SAFETY INFORMATION FOR MATERIALS Use only Dialab approved and labeled material like cuvettes, spare parts or reagents for which the instrument is intended and validated for. Consumables like cuvettes or yellow tips are intended as single-use items.
Dialab GmbH 1.5.3 SAFETY INFORMATION REGARDING RISK OF HEALTH Bleeding or Thrombosis Diagnosis and medication of human coagulation system based on false results may lead to critical bleeding or thrombosis. For risk reduction it is essential to follow the hints below.
Dialab GmbH 1.5.4 SAFETY INFORMATION FOR CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING Authorized service only!
