Why Cascade POC?
The Cascade POC analyzer and unique
reagent system are useful in monitoring
routine anticoagulants as well as
antithrombotic drugs used to treat angina,
myocardial information, stroke, deep venous
thrombosis and pulmonary and arterial
emboli. A built-in battery pack and QC
lockout features make it ideal for use in the
catheterization laboratory, cardiac surgery,
the emergency room as well warfarin clinics
and physician’s offices. Cascade POC offers
a rapid POC assay for monitoring the
anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
Simple Testing
1. Swipe test card through reader.
2. Insert card into analyzer and add sample.

• aPTT for - citrated whole blood or plasma
• c-ACT - for fresh whole blood
Features
• Reaction chamber built into test card
• Test type, lot number, and calibration
information read directly from cards
• Easy and affordable
• Only 35 ?L of sample required
• Internal battery for bedside portability
• Biologic and electronic QC with lockout
• Operator and patient ID entry
Cascade M and Cascade M-4 are
manual hemostasis analyzers that are
ideal for all routine clotting assays -
PTs, aPTTs, thrombins, fibrinogens
and factor assays. Operation is simple
and economical, with only a 15” x 15”
footprint.
Easy-to-Use Keypad, On-Screen
Prompts – All tests are clearly
enumerated on the keypad for fast,
easy test selection. Computer prompts
conveniently step the user through
testing.
State-of-the-Art Photo Optics –
Independent photo-optic detection
sources (two for Cascade M, four
for Cascade M-4) read all samples,
regardless of turbidity. Samples can
be read in duplicate or in single.
On-board Quality Control –
Cascade M and M-4 store standard
curves, calculate patient results,
INRs and aPTT ratios as well as
calculating mean, SD and CV, plus
plot and print Levy-Jennings QC
charts.

Coagulation testing at the point of care just got a lot easier!
Abrazo is a handheld, point of care hemostasis analyzer
with an intuitive touchscreen interface, built-in barcode
reader and an easy-to-use reagent platform. Abrazo PT-WB
is idea for fast and effective monitoring of warfarin therapy.
The Abrazo c-ACT is intended for monitoring the effects
of heparin. Other routine hemostasis and esoteric assay are
in development.
FEATURES
Touchscreen Easy to use, step-by-step interface
Handheld Ergonomic and lightweight
Portable Internal battery; Easily stored reagent cards
Connected Administrative software, 2D barcode reader
Controlled QC and operator lockout
Accurate Assayed controls and electronic QC
Fast Results in minutes
Advanced Modular System
for Platelet Aggregation and
Ristocetin Cofactor
AggRAM couples
four-channel laser optic
modules with a powerful,
easy to use Microsoft®
Windows interface for
aggregometry like has
never been seen before.
The Power of Windows
The AggRAM system software takes full
advantage of the power of Windows.
Watch the channel display in real time
in one window. Open another window
and start another worklist. Open a third
and print previous runs or observe any
combination of channels. The interface is
user-friendly and powerful.
Flexible Modular Design
Need eight channels to handle your
workload? No problem. Simply add a
second module to your AggRAM analyzer.
It's easy to configure your analyzer to
your needs whether it’s running multiple
agonists or several levels of agonist on
one patient or running multiple patients.
AggRAM Features
• On-screen prompts step users through
testing procedures
• Three levels of password protection,
from user to administrator
• Auto slope and max % aggregation
• Display & print lag phase
• Quick access to data input screens
• Many patient demographic fields
• Barcode and bi-directional LIS capable
• Auto curve calculation and smoothing
Advanced Laser Optics
Unlike the tungsten lamp optics of old, the AggRAM uses a laser diode to provide
beautiful precision across all channels. Upon start-up, AggRAM performs a laser
balance check to ensure reproducibility day to day, year to year. Advanced optics
coupled with an improved algorithm for slope calculation greatly improve precision
for ristocetin cofactor testing.
Customized Reports
Include data from one
channel or four, one
patient or the whole run,
or pull from data archives
to profile patient results
over time.
Quality Reagents
AggRAM is complemented
by a full line of Helena
reagents for platelet
aggregation, and ristocetin
cofactor plus assayed
reference plasmas.
Quality Control
Evaluate and chart QC for
ristocetin cofactor based on
Westgard rules; generate
Levy-Jennings charts,
standard curves, etc. with
an integral action log.
Accurate Activated Clotting Time
(ACT) testing is essential for monitoring
heparin therapy during cardiac procedures.
Actalyke instruments and reagent tubes
provide the sensitivity, reliability and rapidity
needed for timely treatment decisions at the
point of care – in the catheterization lab or
the surgical suite.
The Actalyke XL is a premier analyzer
offering dual-well testing, excellent
reproducibility and strong data handling
features. The Actalyke Mini-II is the
simplest, least expensive instrument available
for activated clotting time testing, yet it
retains high sensitivity with performance,
linearity and CVs that parallel its slightly
larger counterpart.
Both Actalyke instruments use a 2-point
clot detection mechanism, enabling clot
detection at the early fibrin formation stage
with less variation due to clot fragility. This
provides greater precision, especially on
highly heparinized and diluted samples.
Actalyke XL
• Dual test wells
• 2-point clot detection
• QC functions with lockout option
• Three user security levels
• Demographic storage
• Data storage on disk
• Touch screen interface
• Optional bar code reader
• Fully compatible with all ACT tubes
• LIS Interface - Telcor, LDS, RALS
