The Quantra System is currently the only VET system that directly outputs both Fibrinogen (FCS) and Platelet (PCS) Contributions to Clot Stiffness in one assay, giving clinicians the opportunity to better determine which products are required by a bleeding patient.
Technical Specifications
Quantra QPlus Output Parameters
| Parameter | Unit | Reportable Ranges | Healthy Reference Ranges* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clot Time (CT) | seconds (sec) | 60-480 | 104-166 |
| Heparinase Clot Time (CTH) | seconds (sec) | 60-480 | 103-153 |
| Clot Time Ratio (CTR) | no units (ratio) | 0.8 to 4 | Calculated parameter. CTR values >1.4 indicate the prolongation of intrinsic CT, likely due to the influence of heparin. |
| Clot Stiffness (CS) | hectoPascals (hPa) | 2-65 | 13.0-33.2 |
| Fibrinogen Contribution to Clot Stiffness (FCS) | hectoPascals (hPa) | 0.2-30 | 1.0-3.7 |
| Platelet Contribution to Clot Stiffness (PCS) | hectoPascals (hPa) | 2-50 | 11.9-29.8 |
*A reference range study was conducted for the QPlus cartridge by collecting whole blood samples from 129 healthy donors across three sites. The data were evaluated as recommended in
EP28-A3c “Defining, Establishing and Verifying Reference Intervals in the Clinical Laboratory; Approved Guideline – Third Edition” CLSI, October 2010. The reference ranges determined
from these studies are expressed as the central 95% confidence interval of the mean. It is recommended that each hospital/laboratory confirm these ranges or establish its own expected
values for the populations it serves.
Principle
Sonic Estimation of Elasticity via Resonance (SEER) Sonorheometry is an ultrasound-based
technology that measures the shear modulus of whole blood during coagulation.

Indications: The Quantra Hemostasis System is composed of the Quantra Hemostasis Analyzer, QPlus Cartridge, QStat Cartridge, corresponding Level 1 and 2 Quality Controls,
Cleaning Cartridge, and Quantra Remote Desktop Viewer.
The Quantra QPlus System is indicated for the evaluation of blood coagulation in perioperative patients age 18 years and older to assess possible hypocoagulable and
hypercoagulable conditions in cardiovascular or major orthopedic surgeries before, during, and following the procedure.
The QStat Cartridge is indicated for the evaluation of blood coagulation and clot lysis in patients age 18 years and older to assess possible hypocoagulable and hypercoagulable
conditions in trauma and liver transplantation procedures.
Results obtained with the Quantra System should not be the sole basis for patient diagnosis. Rx Only.
