Prothrombin Time

Description

Product Information: Prothrombin Time (PT) Test

Overview:
The Prothrombin Time (PT) test is a vital diagnostic tool used to evaluate the blood’s ability to clot properly. It measures the time it takes for plasma to clot after adding a specific reagent, offering crucial insights into coagulation factors. This test is essential for monitoring bleeding disorders, liver function, and the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy.

Key Features:

1. Accurate Coagulation Assessment:
   • Measures the time required for clot formation, providing precise results.
2. Wide Diagnostic Applications:
   • Detects clotting disorders, vitamin K deficiencies, and liver dysfunction.
   • Monitors patients on warfarin or other anticoagulant therapies.
3. Standardized Testing Procedure:
   • Utilizes International Normalized Ratio (INR) for consistent and comparable results.
4. Reliable Reagents:
   • High-quality reagents ensure accuracy and reproducibility in results.

Applications:

• Medical Diagnostics: Identifying and managing clotting disorders like hemophilia or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
• Surgical Preparations: Ensuring safe coagulation levels pre-surgery.
• Therapy Monitoring: Adjusting dosages for anticoagulant treatments.

Specifications:

• Sample Type: Plasma (collected in a sodium citrate tube).
• Test Time: Typically 11-13.5 seconds for normal ranges (subject to laboratory standards).
• Reagent Stability: Ensures long shelf-life and consistent performance.
• Compatibility: Compatible with most modern coagulation analyzers.

Benefits:

• Early Detection: Helps identify potential clotting issues before complications arise.
• Enhanced Patient Care: Supports accurate treatment adjustments for anticoagulant therapy.
• Ease of Use: Streamlined testing process for laboratory professionals.

Instructions for Use:

1. Collect a blood sample using the recommended collection method.
2. Centrifuge the sample to obtain plasma.
3. Add PT reagent to plasma and start the timer.
4. Record the time it takes for clot formation.

Storage and Handling:

• Store reagents at the temperature specified on the packaging.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Follow proper laboratory safety protocols during testing.

Compliance and Certification:

• Meets international quality and safety standards.
• Certified for use in clinical and diagnostic laboratories.
