Activated Clotting Time (ACT) - All HEMOCHRON types Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) - All HEMOCHRON types Prothrombin Time (PT) - All HEMOCHRON types Thrombin Time (TT) Heparin Neutralized Thrombin Time (HNTT) High Dose Thrombin Time (HiTT) Fibrinogen (FIB) Protamine Dose Assay (PDA) - All HEMOCHRON types Heparin Response Time (HRT) - All HEMOCHRON types Protamine Response Time (PRT) - All HEMOCHRON types
Device Story
Portable, dual-well, microprocessor-controlled coagulation instrument; performs whole blood coagulation tests. Input: fresh or citrated whole blood in disposable test tube assays containing reagent and precision magnet. Operation: tube rotated at 37°C; fibrin clot formation displaces magnet; magnetic detectors monitor displacement; elapsed time to displacement displayed as coagulation time. Features: barcode reader, printer, laboratory communication interface, data management (patient/QC storage, operator lockout). Software upgrade (V2.0) adds RxDx module for automated heparin/protamine dosing calculations and enhanced data management via PC software. Used in point-of-care clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Output: coagulation time in seconds; dosing calculations. Benefits: rapid hemostasis management and dosing guidance for clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Laboratory correlation studies compared V1.52 and V2.00 using split-sample design across ACT, specialty, and RxDx tube groups (n=15-18 per group). Linear correlations were excellent (r=0.954-0.998). Precision testing conducted on two levels of assay-specific controls (n=10 per instrument type) showed comparable mean, SD, and CV% between versions.
Technological Characteristics
Portable, dual-well, electro-mechanical coagulation instrument. Sensing: magnetic displacement detection. Energy: electrical (microprocessor-controlled). Connectivity: barcode reader, printer, PC interface for data download. Software: V2.0 firmware with RxDx dosing module. Sterilization: N/A (instrument).
Indications for Use
Indicated for professional hemostasis management in clinical settings requiring point-of-care testing. Used for quantitative determination of coagulation assays (ACT, APTT, PT, TT, HNTT, HiTT, FIB, PDA, HRT, PRT) using fresh or citrated whole blood.

#### Device Name
| Common / Usual Name: | Whole Blood Coagulation Test System |
|----------------------|---------------------------------------|
| Product Name: | HEMOCHRON® Response Instrument/System |
#### Predicate Device
HEMOCHRON® Response (K983475)
#### Device Description
The Hemochron Response instrument/system described herein is a software upgrade (Version 2.0) to the current Hemochron Response Instrument, which has been cleared under K983475 (May 1999).
The HEMOCHRON® Response is a portable, dual-well microprocessor-controlled coagulation instrument with an integral barcode reader, laboratory communication interface and a printer designed to perform whole blood coagulation tests using fresh or citrated whole blood. The system is intended for use in many clinical settings requiring point-of-care testing. The modified Response instrument performs the same assays as the predicate instrument. There are no changes to the clot detection algorithm.
The patented clot detection mechanism is an electro-mechanical system consisting of two test wells into which disposable test tube assays are inserted. The test tube assays contain specific reagent for the test performed and a precision magnet. Immediately after adding a blood sample to the test tube and pressing the start button, the test tube is placed in the test well and is automatically rotated at a slow controlled speed and incubated at 37°C. When a fibrin clot begins to form, it causes the magnet in the test tube to be displaced. Two magnetic detectors located in the test well continuously monitor the precise position of the magnet. When a pre-determined displacement occurs, the elapsed time form the start of the test and the clot endpoint is displayed as the coagulation time in seconds.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The HEMOCHRON® Response contains extensive data management capabilities including the following:
- Patient and quality control result storage
- . Input of operator and patient identification
- Designation of quality control level ●
- Date and time stamp for all test results .
- Printing of results
- . Tagging of test results with date and time
- Operator Lockout ●
- Storage of operator identification numbers .
- . Downloading of stored patient and OC data to a PC
- Configurable date and time formats
### New Features of the Hemochron Response Instrument
The modifications to the Hemochron Response instrument include a software revision to the instrument. The major components of the software modification include the following:
- . Activation of the automated heparin and protamine dosing calculations for patient management. This system is the RxDx module and is described in a previous submission (K010193) for the Hemochron Kaolin-Activated heparin and protamine dosing assays.
- Enhanced programming capability and flexibility for the user through the use of the . instrument keypad and the Hemochron Response Data Management Software (HRDM), which is provided for use in a personal computer (PC). The use of the Hemochron Response Data Management Software has been described in the predicate device submission and operator's manual (K983475).
The user interface for the clinician remains consistent with the previously cleared system with the exception of the enhanced features described in the revised operators manual, the RxDx module and the features associated with the (HRDM).
### Statement of Intended Use

#### Summary of Performance Data
#### Laboratory Correlations
Laboratory correlation studies were conducted between the Hemochron Response V1.52 (Current Version) and Hemochron Response V2.00 (Modified Version) instruments using a split sample design. Heparin sensitivity testing was conducted on the test tubes from each of three groups of tests, namely ACT (including ACT, KACT and P214), specialty tubes (including APTT FWB, APTT Citrate, PT FWB, PT Citrate, TT, HNTT, Fibrinogen diluted and undiluted) and RxDx tubes (including HRTB, HRTP, PDAO, PRT200, each in Celite or kaolin versions). Blood samples were drawn from four different donors and heparinized in vitro. Six HR V2.00 and six HR V1.52 were used for these laboratory studies.

#### Precision Testing
Precision testing was conducted using two levels of assay-specific controls on two Response V 1.52 and two Response V2.00 (n=10 per instrument type) instruments. Representative assays from each of three groups of tests including ACT (ACT test tubes), APTT Fresh Whole Blood, HiTT (Specialty test tubes) and PRT (RxDx test tubes) were used in the test matrix.
