POTENS+ is an in vitro medical device to determine the coagulation profile of citrated human plasma specimens to be used by a medical professional in a laboratory setting. This profile includes Prothrombin Time (PT) derived Fibrinogen (FBG), and the International Normalization Ratio (INR). Prothrombin Time is used to determine the status of the extrinsic clotting pathway for Clotting Factors I, II, V, VII and X, and to assist in monitoring oral anticoagulants. Fibrinogen is used to diagnose disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), as a representation of acute disease - part of the "acute phase response," and it is an independent risk variable in heart attack and stroke prediction. INR is used to monitor the patients receiving anticoagulation therapy.

Semi-automated system for in vitro coagulation studies, clot based and photo-optical.
