Hemochron Signature Elite Activated
Clotting Time Analyzer
The Hemochron Signature Elite Activated Clotting Time Analyzer is the optimal solution for online monitoring of heparin anticoagulation.
• Rapid and accurate ACT monitoring of anticoagulation with heparin
• Simple cartridge technology
• Innovation and experience of the founder of ACT technology
1) Maximum activated ACT technology (maxACT)The test cartridge contains kaolin and silica, which reduces the sensitivity of the ACT result compared to tests using a single activator:
• to hyperthermia and hypothermia,
• the effect of aprotinin,
• influence of hemodilution,
• closely correlates with factor Xa activity
2) RapidCount™ Technology
• Measures target ACT+ time of 450 seconds ~ 4.5 minutes.
• Gives you the opportunity to start artificial circulation 3.5 minutes earlier.
• Allows you to connect the patient to the circuit earlier and reduce the overall procedure time.
