COATRON IV

Coagulation Analyzer
four channels
standard volumes for reagent and sample

The TECO Coatron IV offers a variety of tests to be flexible in determinations with classical clotting reagents, which are based on turbidity. The intrument offers the possibility to handle up to 25 different tests separately with all specific parameters.

The Coatron IV fits perfectly into small and medium Coagulation laboratories and works excellent as a Stand-by unit to already installed automated instruments.

Tests
PT, APTT, TT, Fibrinogen (Clauss), Factor II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, Batroxobin Time (Venom Time), AT-III, Protein C, Protein S and STAT (PT, APTT, TT, FIB)

Selectable dimensions
s, %, Ratio, INR, Units (mg/dl)

Technical Description
The Coatron IV is a microcomputer controlled Coagulation measuring device with four channels and a LC-Display. An additional Stopwatch realizes time correct operating. The tests will be selected through keys on a foil keyboard. The dialog language is user friendly and selectable in English and German. Other languages can be provided optionally

The Main program offers following menus
  • ANALYSIS
  • SETUP-TEST
  • SETUP-SYSTEM
  • SERVICE
The measurement will be started either by hand and pressing the OPTIC-key at the same time when reagent is added, or with a connected Autopipette, which gives an electronical start. The result will be displayed in the specific dimension and can be converted and displayed in other dimensions by pressing the UNIT-key. With a connected printer all results will be printed out automatically in all dimensions with date, Optic No. name of the test and the specific normal, therapeutical and critical ranges. Patient identification can be selected from "NO PAT.ID" - "MANUAL ENTRY" and "AUTO-SERIES" with Start No.

Using the TECO Softwaretools the measuring curve data can be trans-mitted to a Personal Computer and loaded by any spread sheet with graphic function. The recorded data can be loaded back into the Coatron IV to simulate a measurement with-out using reagents, which can be very important for research needs. Also, it is possible to record all specific test parameters in a datafile for backup storage. The test para-meters can be loaded back into the memory in the same way. Software updates are realized with an easy download from a computer to the instrument.
