  • Publication number: 20230020682
    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.

  • Patent number: 6502040
    Abstract: A method for presenting relationships between data from a thrombosis-hemostasis assay on an unknown sample and data from a purality of assays on known samples, which can be in the form of a topological feature map wherein spatial locations within the map correspond to intrinsic features of the known samples. The position of the unknown sample is superimposed on the positions of the known samples. An alternative presentation is showing the distance of each of a purality of predictor variables from an unknown sample to the mean values of a known population.

  • Publication number: 20020010553
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for presenting the relationships between data from an assay relating to thrombosis-hemostasis on an unknown sample, and data from a plurality of assays relating to thrombosis-hemostasis from known sample populations including, (a) providing data from at least one time dependent measurement profile for each of a plurality of known blood samples; (b) measuring a respective property over time as to derive at least one time-dependent measurement for an unknown blood sample; (c) transforming data from steps (a) and (b) to a plurality of predicator variables which sufficiently capture the information content of both the time-dependent measurements from the known blood samples and unknown blood sample; (d) presenting the data from said unknown blood sample time-dependent measurement profile relative to the data from said known blood sample time-dependent measurement profiles using the presentation method of either steps (e), (f), and (g), or steps (h) and (i); namely, (e) creating a topological
