To verify the performance of the ACT instrument and the Heparinase (HR HTC) cartridges
Device Story
CLOTtrac® HTC Control is an in vitro diagnostic device used to verify performance of ACT (Automated Coagulation Timer) instruments and Heparinase (HR HTC) cartridges. Device functions as a quality control material; ensures accuracy of coagulation testing. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Output provides verification of instrument and cartridge functionality; assists in maintaining quality assurance for coagulation monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; validation testing performed to establish performance characteristics of modifications relative to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Lyophilized control material; composition: citrated sheep plasma, stabilized sheep erythrocytes, USP porcine heparin. Reconstituted to 6 U/mL. Designed for use with ACT instrumentation and HR-HTC cartridges. Stability: 2 hours at 15°-25° C post-reconstitution. Storage: 2°-10° C. Risk management per ISO 14971.
Indications for Use
Indicated for verifying the performance of the ACT instrument and Heparinase (HR HTC) cartridges.
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.

I. Device Description:
The CLOTtrac® HTC Coagulation Control is being modified to replace USP bovine heparin with USP porcine heparin. It consists of citrated sheep plasma, and stabilized sheep erythrocytes that are lyophilized and heparinized with USP porcine heparin. It is reconstituted to 6 U/ml with reagent grade water, and used as a fresh whole blood sample.
