Coag-Sense PT2 PT/INR Monitoring System

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.

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.

Yes, the Coag-Sense PT2 system requires a remarkably small sample size, which is a key feature for patient comfort and testing efficiency.

• Minimal Volume: Only 10 to 12 µL of whole blood is required to perform accurate Prothrombin Time (PT) and INR measurements. This is equivalent to approximately one small drop of blood.
• Precision Sampling: The system uses specialized Sample Transfer Tubes (54 included in the Professional User kit) to ensure the precise 10 µL volume is collected and transferred to the test strip. This high-precision method helps minimize user error and prevents test strip waste.

The Coag-Sense PT2 system uses a robust rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery (3.7 V, 2350 mAh) to ensure portability and continuous professional use.

Key performance metrics for the battery include:

• Capacity: It supports approximately 200 tests per full charge.
• Recharge Time: A full charge requires about 6 hours.

For proper functioning and safety, the meter must only be charged using the dedicated 120 V AC Coag-Sense adapter provided.

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.

The Coag-Sense PT2 PT/INR Professional Monitoring System includes everything needed for professional point-of-care testing, ensuring you’re ready to go right out of the box:

• PT2 Pro Meter: The core monitoring device.
• Comprehensive Documentation: Includes the Pro User’s Manual and Pro Quick Reference Guide.
• Power and Portability: An AC wall adapter for charging and a durable carrying case for easy transport and protection.
• Efficient Sample Collection: Comes with a bag of eight Auto Single Use 21G Lancets and 54 Sample Transfer Tubes for precise 10 µl blood collection, supporting accurate testing and compliance with bloodborne-pathogen control.

While this standard configuration provides the meter and essential collection accessories, professional use systems are also available in variants that bundle the meter with various quantities of 50-count Test Strip Kits to suit your specific facility’s needs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
