Intended Use
Sysmex® CA-6000 is intended for use as an automated blood plasma coagulation analyzer.
Device Story
Sysmex CA-6000 is an automated coagulation analyzer for clinical laboratory use. It processes blood plasma samples to perform coagulation assays, including Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), Fibrinogen, Thrombin Time, and various clotting factors (VII, VIII, Antithrombin III, Plasminogen). The device automates sample handling and measurement, providing quantitative results to clinicians to assist in diagnosing and monitoring coagulation disorders. It functions as a benchtop laboratory instrument operated by trained laboratory personnel.
Clinical Evidence
Bench-only correlation studies comparing CA-6000 to predicate MLA 1000C. Sample sizes ranged from 118 to 230 per assay. Results showed strong correlation (r=0.888–0.999) for PT, APTT, Fibrinogen, Thrombin Time, and Factors VII, VIII, Antithrombin III, and Plasminogen. No clinical prospective or retrospective patient outcome data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Automated coagulation analyzer; utilizes optical/mechanical sensing principles for clot detection. Benchtop form factor. Designed for clinical laboratory environment. Software-controlled automated processing of plasma samples.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an automated blood plasma coagulation analyzer for clinical laboratory testing of patient blood samples to assess coagulation status.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A coagulation instrument is an automated or semiautomated device used to determine the onset of clot formation for in vitro coagulation studies.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A fibrometer or coagulation timer intended for use with a coagulation instrument is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.
