Coagulation test as a pre-operative and post-operative, hospitalized patients and patients with blood disorders and other a mandatory test, is a clinical prevention of medical errors and post-operative monitoring of the necessary means, for the clinic to provide the most basic diagnosis and treatment of coagulation disease information, in the clinic has an important value.
In the 2012 Guidelines for the Collection and Handling of Blood Specimens for Plasma Coagulation Test, it is pointed out that the coagulation test is subject to the requirements of temperature and testing time, and plasma specimens need to be separated from the plasma within 1 hour after collection, and the test needs to be completed within 4 hours.
Factors affecting the turnaround time of coagulation test samples are measurement, environment, materials, methods, personnel and machines. According to the study, the turnaround time before coagulation testing in tertiary care hospitals was 20 (13, 30) minutes for acute care and 33 (27, 45) minutes in the laboratory. Coagulation testing prior to analysis is subject to specimen centrifugation time and material preparation time, and the Guidelines recommend specimen centrifugation conditions of 1500g for at least 15 minutes and dry powder reagent configuration of 15-30 minutes depending on operator familiarity.
In the analysis, by the instrument itself detection efficiency and automation, non-constant speed coagulation equipment in the processing of multi-methodology project combination testing is often difficult to achieve its fastest detection speed. For example, the fastest speed PT400 test/hour equipment in common, in the coagulation of more than 4 combinations of items, often appear nearly 1/2 of the speed drop. In the test, whether automated loading and unloading, intelligent non-stop replacement of reagents and consumables will also affect the coagulation test time. In addition, the increase of testing volume in medical institutions also has higher requirements for testing efficiency.
Traditional solution: increase in equipment
At present, in order to solve the specimen TAT time, in addition to improving the coagulation testing process, the current solution mainly relies on the addition of multiple stand-alone equipment or the combination of assembly line, but it creates new problems, such as the increase in equipment to bring about the space occupation, multiple instruments back and forth operation to reduce the efficiency of manual labor and so on. How to improve the unit space processing efficiency has become a new problem for most space-compact clinical laboratories.
New solution: increased efficiency and effective use of space
The AutoCimo C6000 CM2 (Dual Module) gives the best answer to the question of how to meet the needs of rapid laboratory testing while effectively utilizing laboratory space. The product is based on a single machine constant speed 600 test/hour direct connection coagulation pipeline, about 2.7m2 enjoy 1200 test/hour, with the following features:
Space saving
AutoCimo C6000 CM2 (Dual Module) coagulation line is expanded by “shoulder-to-shoulder” coagulation module direct connection, avoiding the use of “hand-in-hand” type through the rail connection, effectively saving laboratory space.
Fast sample processing
AutoCimo C6000 CM2 (Dual Module) has a constant speed of 1200 tests/hour, with no reduction in speed for any item. Combined with the unique sample processing unit three-rail design, to achieve the coagulation specimen processing “three” fast: constant speed 1200 tests / hour, fast processing of routine samples; independent emergency track processing emergency samples fast, to achieve emergency samples within 30 seconds of the suction sample; rail + pull-out sample in and out of the sample without the need for additional selection of samples, to achieve the in-situ re-examination of specimens. Fast specimen processing.
Constant high speed without stopping
AutoCimo C6000 CM2 (dual module) large-capacity reagents and consumables reserve, can realize 3,600 tests in 3 hours without manual intervention, high-speed constant double backup, high-speed without downtime. In addition, according to the different testing needs of the laboratory, coagulation can also be expanded into a 4-line machine to realize a constant speed of 2400 tests/hour coagulation pipeline. In the future, coagulation-related testing items can reach 25 items.
