Abstract
The invention provides a system for automatically measuring an Activated Clotting Time value and other parameters from a sample of blood.
Claims36
A system for predicting activated clotting time (ACT) from a blood sample within a sample holder, comprising:
- a first ACT-measuring system configured to measure a mechanical property indicating clotting of the blood sample;
- a second ACT-measuring system configured to measure a first time-dependent waveform and a second time-dependent waveform that are both affected by clotting of the blood sample;
- and,
- a processing system configured to perform the following steps:
- 1) analyze the mechanical property to determine a first value of ACT;
- 2) analyze both the first time-dependent waveform and the first value of ACT to determine a model for predicting ACT;
- and 3) using the model, analyze the second time-dependent waveform to predict a second value of ACT.
