Abstract: The preparation and use of systems to provide surrogate whole blood controls using coagulation modifiers to simulate human whole blood in coagulation assays are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects and embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to devices and methods for the containment and presentation of a control solution to a medical device. Such devices and methods can be directed to containers (e.g., containment and presentation devices) that include structures such as nested containment wells for maintaining a stabilized control solution. Embodiments can include an indicator, such as one to indicate status of a seal for a container and/or for a liquid inside such a container.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a containment device having a flexible first layer and a flexible second layer sealed together to form a hermetically sealed reservoir. The surface area of contact between the first and the second layers can define a frame about the perimeter of the reservoir. The containment device can also include a porous pad located within the reservoir, and a liquid control solution configured to mimic a physiological fluid contained within the porous pad within the reservoir. The containment device can include a third flexible layer presenting a liquid holding surface for a user. A portion of the first and/or second layers can function as a frangible seal that is configured to be torn away by a user.
