Publication number: 20240069043Abstract: Portable coagulation monitoring devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. Namely, a test cartridge is provided for use in a portable coagulation monitor (PCM) device. Further, the test cartridge comprises two glass-filled thermoplastic polymer plates and a disposable blood introduction device. The two glass-filled thermoplastic polymer plates are arranged substantially in parallel with a small gap therebetween for receiving a sample of blood to be tested. Using the PCM device, the two glass-filled thermoplastic polymer plates can be moved linearly relative to each other. Methods of measuring coagulation response in a blood sample using the test cartridge and the PCM device are provided. A method of introducing blood into the test cartridge using the disposable blood introduction device is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Entegrion, Inc.Inventors: Matthew PEARCE, Richard HALL, Joseph Anthony DACORTA

Patent number: 9063161Abstract: A device, system and method is disclosed in which small volume blood samples are subjected to shear forces and shear stresses between two parallel planar surfaces to which linear motion trajectories are imparted. The formation of clots or coagulation of the sample is measured from dynamic mechanical coupling which occurs between the two parallel planar surfaces. Detection of the coagulation response can be achieved through optical probing or by measurement of physical effects of the blood sample binding to the planar surfaces, and restricting movement thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2013Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Entegrion, Inc.Inventors: Robert Glenn Dennis, Thomas H. Fischer, Joseph Anthony DaCorta
