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. 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. |
