Frequently asked questions
Does the Coag-Sense PT2 report true PT-seconds?
Yes, the Coag-Sense PT2 PT/INR Monitoring System is specifically designed to report true Prothrombin Time (PT-seconds). This is a critical advantage for professional testing.
This high accuracy is achieved using a proven micro-mechanical detection process, which is the only CLIA-Waived methodology to produce a true PT result. Instead of relying on lookup tables or algorithms, the system uses a Direct INR Approach to precisely detect the actual clotting endpoint.
Key benefits of this methodology include:
- Precision: Results are highly accurate and are not susceptible to variations in Hemoglobin or Hematocrit levels.
- Speed: Results are delivered in less than one minute.
- Efficiency: Requires only a small sample size of 10 to 12 µL of whole blood.
Does the system offer professional LIS/HIS connectivity?
Yes, the Coag-Sense PT2 system is specifically designed for professional point-of-care use, offering robust connectivity for integrating with healthcare networks.
Key connectivity features include:
- Connectivity Interface: Supports the industry-standard POCT1A/HL7 protocol for seamless communication with LIS, HIS, and Middleware systems.
- Communication Ports: Includes both Micro USB and Standard USB ports for data transfer.
- Internal Memory: Stores up to 2000 patient test results (with date/time), 500 control test results, and 1000 Operator accounts.
Is the Coag-Sense PT2 system limited to whole blood samples?
Yes, the Coag-Sense PT2 is specifically designed for use with whole blood samples (10 to 12 µL), which provides the most accurate, real-time measurement of your prothrombin time. By using a micro-mechanical detection process, the system physically identifies the clot endpoint directly from the blood sample rather than relying on algorithms or indirect proxies.
While the device is optimized for whole blood testing, it also fully supports the use of quality control materials (such as external controls) to ensure the meter remains calibrated and accurate. This combination ensures high reliability for patients and professionals alike.
Does the Coag-Sense PT2 system support home self-testing?
Yes, the Coag-Sense PT2 system is available in configurations specifically designed for Home Use/Self-Test, making it suitable for patients managing Warfarin therapy at home.
This system ensures a continuum of care, offering consistent monitoring from hospital to clinic to home. Key benefits for home use include:
- Proven Methodology: Utilizes a micro-mechanical detection process for superb accuracy and precision, unaffected by hemoglobin and hematocrit levels.
- Rapid Results: Displays PT and INR results in less than one minute.
- Simple Sample Collection: Requires only a small 10 µl drop of blood.
Please note: While there is a home use variant, the Professional Use system is restricted and can only be shipped to licensed medical professionals or facilities, not to individuals.
Does it report accurate INR values?
Yes, the Coag-Sense PT2 provides true prothrombin time results and reports accurate INR values. It is the only CLIA-Waived system that directly detects the clotting endpoint without relying on lookup tables or curve-fitting algorithms, ensuring superb accuracy and precision.
Is the system susceptible to Hemoglobin changes?
No, the Coag-Sense PT2 system is not susceptible to changes in Hemoglobin and Hematocrit levels, ensuring consistent and reliable results regardless of these variations in the patient’s blood.
Is the Coag-Sense PT2 reliable for accurate PT/INR monitoring?
Yes, the Coag-Sense PT2 PT/INR Monitoring System is highly reliable and is designed for professional-grade diagnostic accuracy. It stands out by using a micro-mechanical detection process that directly detects the clotting endpoint to report actual PT-seconds and INR. Unlike other systems that rely on curve-fitting algorithms or lookup tables, this method ensures that your results are not susceptible to variations in Hemoglobin or Hematocrit levels. Key reliability features include:
- Proven Precision: Provides accurate, true PT-seconds, facilitating consistent monitoring in both clinical and home care settings.
- Hygienic Architecture: Engineered so that the blood sample does not come into contact with the device’s internal components, which helps minimize maintenance and contamination risks.
- Clinical Flexibility: Offers a broad reportable INR range of 0.8 to 8.0, making it suitable for a wide variety of patient needs.
Does the device use a rechargeable battery for portability?
Yes, the Coag-Sense PT2 utilizes a rechargeable Lithium Polymer Battery (3.7 V, 2350 mAh), ensuring excellent portability and consistent operation across different care settings.
Key specifications related to the battery life:
- Test Capacity: The battery supports approximately 200 tests on a single, full charge.
- Charging: Full charging time is 6 hours.
- Power Options: The system operates internally on the battery but can also be powered via the included 120 V AC wall adapter.
Are test strips included with the system?
Test strips are not universally included with the base Coag-Sense PT2 PT/INR Monitoring System, but they are available as part of specific bundled configurations.
The standard Professional Use System includes the PT2 Pro Meter, user manuals, an AC wall adapter, 54 sample transfer tubes, 8 lancets, and a carrying case. To receive test strips, you would need to select one of the following variants:
- Professional User; Includes 1 Box of Test Strip Kits (50 Tests)
- Professional User; Includes 3 Boxes of Test Strip Kits (150 Tests Total)
- Professional User; Includes 5 Boxes of Test Strip Kits (250 Tests Total)
Additionally, test kit refills (#03P57-50, 50 Tests) can be purchased separately.
Is superb micro-mechanical detection used?
Yes, the Coag-Sense PT2 PT/INR Monitoring System utilizes a micro-mechanical detection process known for its superb accuracy and precision in measuring Prothrombin Time (PT) and INR.
This proven methodology offers several key advantages:
- True PT Measurement: It is the only CLIA-Waived system that reports a true prothrombin time (PT-seconds). It directly determines the clotting endpoint without relying on lookup tables or curve-fitting algorithms, ensuring highly reliable results.
- Interference Resistance: The mechanical detection is not susceptible to common interferences caused by variations in Hemoglobin or Hematocrit levels, providing consistent results across patient samples.
- Rapid and Wide Range: Results are displayed in less than one minute. The system supports a full Point-of-Care reportable INR range from 0.8 up to 8.0.
- Minimal Sample Volume: Testing only requires a very small blood sample size of 10 µL.
