Patent number: 11691142Abstract: Embodiments of a platelet testing system include an analyzer console device and a blood testing cartridge configured to releasably install into the console device. The cartridge device is configured with one or more measuring chambers and one or more mixing chambers that are fluidically connected within the cartridge device that enable the mixing of saline and a blood sample to a desired dilution. Additionally, the cartridge device is further configured with a cartridge slider that provides a reagent bead to the saline and blood mixture at a desired time. As such, one or more platelet activation assays can be conducted by measuring, through cartridge electrodes of the cartridge device, the detectable changes in platelet activity within the blood and saline mixture.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: CA CASYSO GMBHInventors: Michael M.

Publication number: 20230159049Abstract: A method for planning a route for an automated guided vehicle which can be operated in two different operating modes including a first operating mode in which the vehicle follows a firmly predetermined trajectory; and a second operating mode in which the vehicle follows a dynamically generated path located within a predetermined range of movement. The method includes subdividing an environment passable by the vehicle into first regions in which the vehicle is to be operated in the first operating mode and second regions in which the vehicle is to be operated in the second operating mode. The method includes defining, for each of the first regions, a corresponding trajectory to be traveled by the vehicle and defining, for each of the second regions, a corresponding predetermined range of movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2022Publication date: May 25, 2023Inventors: Martin Schwaiger, Christian Mischitz, Sascha Holesch, Kandarp Gandhi

Publication number: 20200011884Abstract: Embodiments of a blood coagulation testing system can operate as an automated thromboelastometry system that is particularly useful, for example, at a point-of-care site. In some embodiments, the blood coagulation testing system includes a single-use cartridge component configured to measure and mix reagents with blood received from a blood sample reservoir. A mixing chamber in the single-use cartridge includes different reagent beads that, when exposed to a pre-determined volume of blood, dissolve and mix specific reagents with the blood. The assembled blood cartridge further includes configurations that are designed to prevent blood from prematurely mixing with reagent beads in the mixing chamber and to guide blood flow in the mixing chamber to dissolve reagent beads in a desired order. Thus, the mixture obtained from the mixing chamber can be readily utilized to generate results for the blood coagulation testing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Michael M.
