Coagulation Sciences' Multiple Coagulation Test SystemTM (MCTS) with Cartridge.

Caption

Coagulation Sciences' Multiple Coagulation Test SystemTM (MCTS) is a desktop device that enables caregivers to quickly analyze the causes of blood clotting disorders at the point of care. The device reduces the costs and risks associated with unnecessary blood transfusions. Because no fast and accurate means exists to determine the cause of bleeding, 40 percent or more of blood and blood product transfusions are later deemed to have been unnecessary. The major markets for the MCTS TM are emergency rooms, trauma centers, operating rooms and rural medical centers. Coagulation Sciences expects to perform clinical studies in 2018 and begin manufacturing the device in 2019.
