Indications for Use

The Sonoclot Coagulation & Platelet Function Analyzer is an instrument for the in vitro measuring of coagulation and platelet function. The Sonoclot Analyzer performs in vitro whole blood and plasma analyses.

Device Story

Sonoclot Coagulation & Platelet Function Analyzer measures hemostasis in vitro using whole blood or plasma samples. Device utilizes a tubular probe oscillating vertically within a sample; electronic drive and detection circuitry measure mechanical resistance to probe motion as blood progresses through hemostasis stages. Microcomputer processes analog signals into a 'Clot Signal,' generating a qualitative 'Sonoclot Signature' graph and quantitative results for clot formation time (SonACT) and fibrin polymerization rate (Clot Rate). Used in clinical settings to identify coagulopathies, including platelet dysfunction, factor deficiencies, and hyperfibrinolysis. Healthcare providers use printed thermal graphs and quantitative outputs to inform clinical decision-making regarding patient coagulation status.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparative study performed using three current and three original Sonoclot analyzers. Samples included reference viscosity fluids, plasma, and blood. Results demonstrated no performance differences between automatically calculated results from the current analyzer and manually calculated results from the original analyzer.

Technological Characteristics

Mechanical oscillation sensing principle. Construction materials: machined aluminum (side panels, platen, transducer head), stamped stainless steel (top/bottom/front/rear panels), etched zinc (control panel), Dupont Delrin (hinge pin). Power: 100-130Vac or 210-260Vac. Output: thermal printer graph and quantitative digital results. Microcomputer-based signal processing.

Indications for Use

Indicated for in vitro measurement of coagulation and platelet function in whole blood and plasma samples to assess hemostasis, including coagulation, fibrin gel formation, clot retraction, and fibrinolysis, and to identify coagulopathies such as platelet dysfunction, factor deficiencies, anticoagulant effects, hypercoagulable tendencies, and hyperfibrinolysis.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A multipurpose system for in vitro coagulation studies is a device consisting of one automated or semiautomated instrument and its associated reagents and controls. The system is used to perform a series of coagulation studies and coagulation factor assays.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A control intended for use with a multipurpose system for in vitro coagulation studies is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.

Summary Preparation Date: May 22, 1995 2) Device Trade Name: Sonoclot® Coagulation & Platelet Function Analyzer Common Name: Coagulation Analyzer Classification Name: Multipurpose system for in vitro coagulation studies Classification: Class II, Classification Number 81JPA, 21 CFR 864.5425. 3) Identification of predicate device to which substantial equivalence is being claimed: Original Sonoclot Analyzer marketed prior to May 28, 1976. (4) and (5) Device Description and Intended Use: The Sonoclot Coagulation & Platelet Function Analyzer is an instrument for the in vitro measuring of coagulation and platelet function. The Sonoclot Analyzer performs in vitro whole blood and plasma analyses. The Sonoclot Analyzer rapidly provides accurate information on the entire hemostasis process including coagulation, fibrin gel formation, clot retraction (platelet function) and fibrinolysis. The Sonoclot Analyzer generates both a qualitative graph, known as the Sonoclot Signature, and the quantitative results on the clot formation time and the rate of fibrin polymerization for identifying numerous coagulopathies including platelet dysfunction, factor deficiencies, anticoagulant effect, hypercoagulable tendencies and hyperfibrinolysis. The detection mechanism within the Sonoclot Analyzer responds to mechanical changes that occur within the blood sample. This mechanism consists of a tubular probe that oscillates up and down within a blood sample. The electronic drive and detection circuitry senses the resistance to motion that the probe encounters as the blood sample progresses through the various stages of hemostasis. The resulting analog electronic signal is processed by a microcomputer within the Sonoclot Analyzer and is reported as the Clot Signal. The Clot Signal is printed as a graph on the thermal printer. The materials used to construct the Sonoclot Analyzer and it's physical dimensions are covered in this summary under item (6). (6) Comparison of the current to the original Sonoclot: See Table 1 attached. Testing additionally has been completed to demonstrate that the current Sonoclot Analyzer is equivalent to the original Sonoclot Analyzer. Several different reference viscosity fluids, plasma and blood were run side by side on three current and three original analyzers. No difference in performance was observed between the automatically calculated results obtained on the current analyzer and the manually calculated results obtained on the original analyzer. Moreover, the current analyzer eliminates the possibility of the user performing incorrect calculations. This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.
