By GlobalDataThe Quantra System uses SEER sonorheometry to measure the coagulation properties of a whole blood sample.
It allows physicians to provide patient-centred coagulation therapy, which helps improve care and optimise the use of blood products.
HemoSonics stated that the system provides quick results and easy operation, along with a dials screen for straightforward interpretation.
It has received approval for use in point-of-care settings such as emergency departments, intensive care units and operating rooms.
HemoSonics medical director Dr Bruce Spiess said: “The Quantra Hemostasis System with QStat and QPlus Cartridges will assist more clinicians in determining which specific blood products are needed to rapidly treat individual patients.
“It has the potential to positively impact patient outcomes for hundreds of thousands of trauma patients and thousands of liver transplant recipients each year by optimising blood product usage and conserving critically low blood supplies.”
