Abstract:
Provided are devices, systems and methods for evaluation of hemostasis. In some embodiments, an apparatus is disclosed comprising a housing; a plurality of test chambers located in the housing, the plurality of test chambers including chambers configured for measurements via a system that interrogates one or more viscoelastic properties of test samples in the test chambers, wherein the one or more viscoelastic properties is used to characterize dynamics of coagulation and/or fibrinolysis.

Claim (Index 102):
A method for evaluating hemostasis, comprising:\n feeding a blood sample to a disposable cartridge through an inlet in the cartridge, wherein the blood sample is directed through the inlet into an inlet channel in the cartridge, wherein a first portion of the blood sample flows from the inlet channel into the first channel and the first test chamber and a second portion of the blood sample flows into the second channel and the second test chamber, and wherein the disposable cartridge includes a thermally conductive portion therein; adjusting the temperature of the blood sample, or a portion thereof, along the thermally conductive portion; mixing the first portion of the blood sample with a first reagent or combination of reagents to produce a first test sample; mixing the second portion of the blood sample with a second reagent or combination of reagents to form a second test sample; interrogating the first test sample in the first test chamber to determine at least one parameter including a first parameter selected from the group consisting of clot time, clot stiffness, clot formation rate, and lysis time; and interrogating the second test sample in the second test chamber to determine at least one parameter including a second parameter selected from the group consisting of clot time, clot stiffness, clot formation rate, and lysis time; wherein the interrogation to determine the first parameter and/or the second parameter is based on a viscoelastic measurement of the blood sample.
