ACT PLUS® Automated Coagulation Timer System
Precise, reliable - the trusted standard
 The ACT Plus® System combines a trusted standard in precise clot detection technology with state-of-the-art user enhancements including data management and connectivity-ready capabilities. It is a microprocessor-controlled electromechanical coagulation instrument designed to determine coagulation endpoints in whole blood, and citrated whole blood, samples. Clotting-time results are presented on the instrument’s Clot Time Display (CTD) and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screens.
The ACT Plus® System provides long-term data storage and retrieval, with access to previous patient and quality control test data. Test results are stored in the order in which they are performed. The ability to externally transfer or save data to a floppy disk enhances the system’s versatility.
The ACT Plus® System is portable and well suited for all point-of-care testing situations. It offers the reliability required in:
- Cardiovascular and vascular surgery
- ECMO
- Cardiac catheterization laboratories
- Critical care units
- Hemodialysis units
Built-In Efficiency
- Immediate results mean anticoagulant dosages can be adjusted quickly.
- Dual-well testing provides the extra confidence that only duplicate results provide.
- Because less than 1 ml of blood is required for each test, the ACT Plus™ System is especially suited for patients with small blood volumes.
- Bar Code Scanner (optional) is used for accurate entry of cartridge and control lot numbers and expiration dates as well as patient and user ID.
Quality Assurance
- Full range of lyophilized controls and an electronic control are available to verify instrument, cartridge and operator performance and meet regulatory guidelines for testing.
- Electronic control provides multiple-level testing in one device.
Multiple Testing Capability
ACT cartridges are available in a variety of sensitivities to monitor heparin at the appropriate level.
