Patent number: 7182913Abstract: A sample retention apparatus for use in a device for measuring hemostasis. The device for measuring hemostasis may include a sample articulation apparatus including a guide shaft coupled for articulating motion to a drive motor, a sample carrier secured to and axially moveable along the guide shaft between a sample ready position, a sample testing position and a sample ejection position. The sample carrier therefore articulates in unison with the articulating motion of the guide shaft. A measuring apparatus may include a sensing column. The sample retention apparatus may include a sample cup defining a volume within which a sample may be disposed.

Patent number: 6890299Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring hemostasis in a connection with a recipient of an artificial surface device provide a multi-phase monitoring protocol. In a first, pre- and intra-operative phase, hemostasis of the recipient is monitored relative to preventing clot formation to achieve artificial surface patency. In a second, post operative phase hemostasis of the recipient is monitored relative to bringing about clot formation to achieve vascular recovery. In a third, stabilizing intensive care phase hemostasis of the recipient is monitored relative to balancing hemostasis toward an anti-coagulation bias. In a fourth, maintenance phase hemostasis is monitored relative to maintaining balanced hemostasis.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2003Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Haemoscope CorporationInventors: Eli Cohen, Irene Navickas

Patent number: 6797519Abstract: A system and method for diagnosing hemostasis utilizing a communication network. A blood hemostasis analyzer tests a blood sample and provides a parameter indicative of hemostasis. The blood hemostasis analyzer is communicatively coupled via the communication network to an analysis tool. The analysis tool includes an algorithm operable on the parameter to provide a result. The diagnostic result may indicate normal hemostasis, a coagulopathy or other condition, and may provide a recommended course of treatment.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Haemoscope CorporationInventors: Eli Cohen, Irene A.

Patent number: 5223227Abstract: An instrument for measuring the coagulation characteristics of whole blood samples is provided with disposable parts for contacting the blood. The pin has a blood-compatible plastic sleeve surrounding a metal stem which weights the pin assembly so it sinks into the blood sample. The metal stem also engages into the pin suspension apparatus of the instrument. A blood-compatible plastic cup receives the blood sample to be tested, and is surrounded by a metal collar to transfer heat to the cup for the time required for a test. The plastic surfaces which contact the blood sample are slightly roughened, to a matte finish, to improve adhesion so as to approximate the results obtained with stainless steel pins and cups.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1991Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Haemoscope CorporationInventor: Leon Zuckerman
