  • Publication number: 20180306774
    Abstract: A disposable system, in some embodiments, includes a multi-channel or multi-chamber test cartridge device configured to operate with a testing system for evaluation of hemostasis in a subject by in vitro evaluation of a test sample from the subject. The disposable system, in some embodiments, is configured to interrogate the test sample to evaluate clot stiffness, strength, or other mechanical properties of the test sample to assess the function of various physiological processes occur during coagulation and/or dissolution of the resulting clot.

  • Publication number: 20170065763
    Abstract: A universal adapter for connecting a syringe to an injector is provided. The universal adapter for connecting a syringe to an injector includes: a body having a proximal end configured to connect to an injector; at least one radial support connected to the body and biased in an inward direction; and at least one axial support biased to position the syringe in an axial direction toward a distal end of the adapter. The at least one radial support defines a notch positioned to contact and engage a portion of a barrel of the syringe. A fluid delivery system and system for identification of a syringe, which include a universal adapter for connecting a syringe to an injector, are also described herein.
