Indications for Use
The Fisher Diagnostics ThromboScreen® 1000 is a photo-optical instrument used for the performance of in-vitro diagnostic coagulation testing of citrated plasma specimens in the clinical laboratory. Coagulation testing capabilities of the device include routine clotting tests such as Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), and Fibrinogen. The Pacific Hemostasis® Fibrinogen Reagent plus Kaolin is intended to be used on the Fisher Diagnostics ThromboScreen® 1000 Coagulation Instrument for the quantitative determination of fibrinogen in plasma.
Device Story
ThromboScreen® 1000 (TS1000) is an automated photo-optical coagulation instrument for clinical laboratories. It accepts citrated plasma specimens; uses a 660 nm LED light source to measure light transmission changes as plasma clots in a temperature-regulated (36.5-37.5°C) incubator block. The device performs routine clotting tests (PT, APTT, Fibrinogen). Pacific Hemostasis® Fibrinogen Reagent plus Kaolin is used to enhance clot visibility in the stirred reaction cell. Operators (lab technicians) load samples and reagents; the instrument automates the timing and recording of clotting procedures. Output is a quantitative measurement of clotting time or fibrinogen concentration, which assists clinicians in assessing coagulation status and managing patients on anticoagulants like Coumadin or Heparin.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison studies performed at three sites (in-house and two external) using 60-100 samples per test type (PT, APTT, Fibrinogen) compared TS1000 to predicate devices. Correlation coefficients (r) ranged from 0.94 to 0.99. Precision studies (within-run and between-run) evaluated %CV across various coagulation levels; TS1000 demonstrated performance comparable to predicate devices. No clinical prospective/retrospective trials on human subjects were required.
Technological Characteristics
Photo-optical coagulation instrument. Features 660 nm LED light source, temperature-regulated incubator block (36.5-37.5°C) with six measuring and six reagent positions. Automated pipetting and stirring mechanism. Reagent: Fibrinogen Reagent plus Kaolin. Connectivity: Standalone clinical laboratory instrument.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in-vitro diagnostic coagulation testing (PT, APTT, Fibrinogen) of citrated plasma specimens in clinical laboratory settings. Used for quantitative determination of fibrinogen in plasma.
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.
