actual data collection
for correlation. Obtaining a good correlation between the two systems
requires that the operator be proficient at both procedures prior
to beginning data collection, and that strict adherence to the guidelines
be followed.
We recommend that you fax us a copy of your correlation data once you have completed the protocol. Often, upon examination of the data, we find the correlation between the two systems can be improved (i.e. by performing a few more tests in a sensitivity range where there may not be many data points). Together, we are certain that a good correlation can be obtained between the HEMOCHRON Jr. and your laboratory system.
If at any time during the correlation process you require assistance, do not hesitate to contact our in-house Technical Service staff at 1-800-631-5945.
Thank you for your interest in evaluating our point-of-care analyzers. We are
certain you will find them to be an important supplement to the diagnostic protocols
you currently employ.

HEMOCHRON® Jr. Citrate PT Clinical Correlation Protocol
(For users of HEMOCHRON® Jr. Signature/ HEMOCHRON® Jr. II) |
| |
Prior to clinical use, a correlation study comparing the
HEMOCHRON Jr. APTT or PT test and standard laboratory assay will assist
in determining any necessary target time adjustments. Prior to initiating
the Clinical Correlation, review all package inserts and the HEMOCHRON
Jr. Signature/Jr II operator’s manual for complete instructions. Review
this entire protocol before beginning a test.
The HEMOCHRON Jr. Signature
and HEMOCHRON Jr. II analyzers display PT plasma equivalent seconds based
upon a reagent ISI of 1.0.
