Tem Innovations GmbH 503-02-US ROTEM®

The ROTEM® delta is designed for in-vitro diagnostic use by professionals in a laboratory environment. The ROTEM® delta is intended to be used to provide a qualitative and quantitative indication of the coagulation state of a blood sample. For this purpose the ROTEM® delta records the clot firmness changes in a sample of citrated whole blood as the sample clots, retracts and lyses in real time. The analyzer output consists of a qualitative graphical representation (mirrored coagulation curve - clot firmness over time) and several defined numerical parameters describing the curve quantitatively.The in-tem® assay is a semi-quantitative in vitro diagnostic assay used to monitor the coagulation process via the intrinsic pathway in citrated whole blood specimens on the ROTEM® delta. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameters Clotting Time (CT), Speed of Clot Formation (CFT and alpha angle), Clot Firmness (A20/MCF) and Clot Lysis (LOT, ML, LI(x)).
