1.2 Purpose of use
The MC 10 plus is a semi-automatic mechanical and optical (optionally) detection system which is used for
the determination of prothrombin times (PT), activated partial thrombo plastin times (aPTT) and
fibrinogen concentrations as well as other clotting and chromogenic tests whereas the output are
measuring results in view of quality. In connection with suitable reagents plasmas and also full blood
specimen can be measured.
The sample and also the reagents are added manually with a suitable calibrated pipette. The time
keeping until the detection of the coagulation is done automatically. On the base of correct parameters
and correct entering of the curves the coagulation times are converted into corresponding results.
1.3 Performance data
The precision of the tests carried out with the MC 10 plus is not depending on the instrument but on the
sample receipt, sample handling as well as the precision of the employed sample and reagent
distribution system.
1.3.1 Correlation and precision
An investigation for the evidence of the equivalence of the MC 10 plus to another commercial mechanical
coagulation analyser has been done by a nameable German reagent producer with PT-, aPTT-, Fib-, TZ-,
AT3- and D-Dimer measurements. Please ask ABW to get more information.
