The biological function of the body that is responsible for maintaining a constant blood composition, which ensures its liquid state, restoring the integrity of the vascular structure and further dissolving blood clots, is called haemostasis. This is one of the most important reactions that determines normal blood clotting. Disruptions in its functioning can lead to the most serious consequences, so it is essential to study this process using modern medical equipment.
What a coagulometer is and how it is used
In modern medicine, a coagulometer is the main device for studying and analysing haemostasis, blood clotting parameters, including INR (international normalised ratio), prothrombin time, fibrinogen levels in the blood, etc. Its principle of operation is based on determining the rate of fibrin clot formation in the analysed sample.
Such medical equipment has a wide range of applications:
- Haematology. Determination of disorders in the process of haemostasis in order to identify pathologies that they can cause;
- Hepatology. In this case, laboratory equipment - a coagulometer - is used to track the dynamics during the therapeutic treatment of a number of diseases, including liver cirrhosis and hepatitis;
- surgery. Analyses are performed to determine the effectiveness of medications and therapeutic measures;
- obstetrics. In maternity hospitals, the equipment is used to assess the haemostasis of pregnant women.
Measuring device - how to choose
Before purchasing a coagulometer, it is important to analyse the needs of a particular clinic or laboratory, workload and patient flow. You should pay attention to the following indicators:
- Technology used. According to this characteristic, devices can be divided into optical and mechanical. The best option is a model that uses both technologies in sample analysis.
- Type of equipment. Among the most modern equipment, there are semi-automatic and automatic devices. The second option is more productive and easy to use. However, both devices for measuring DIC in Ukraine are characterised by high accuracy and speed of analysis.
- Performance. It is determined by the number of channels. Single-channel models will not be able to fully meet the needs of even a small clinic. Mobile laboratories often choose two-channel devices. The best option for larger medical institutions is 4- and 8-channel medical equipment. It is important that a multiple number of channels allows you to perform duplicate analyses to determine the coefficient of variation.
How much does a coagulometer cost and what determines the price
First of all, the price of a coagulometer is determined by its functionality: the number of tests and studies that can be performed on it, the level of automation, and the availability of additional options (colour touch screen, built-in printer, internal memory, etc.).
The manufacturer plays an equally important role in pricing. Foreign equipment is traditionally more expensive, but it is of higher quality, reliability and durability.
How to buy a coagulometer
To buy a coagulometer in Ukraine, you need to be as responsible as possible when choosing a seller. Not only the reputation of the clinic, but also the health of patients will depend on the quality, reliability, and efficiency of this equipment. You should not trust dubious suppliers who do not have their own website or address but offer medical equipment at low prices.
