The Quantra System is a fully integrated and automated in vitro diagnostic device which uses SEER Sonorheometry, an ultrasound-based technology, to characterize the viscoelastic propoerties of a whole blood sample during coagulation. The Quantra QStat Cartridge was developed to monitor hemostasis in the trauma and liver transplant populations which may experience a range of coagulopathies of various etiologies including fibrinolytic defects.
This single-center, prospective, observational stuey will evaluate the performance of the Quantra System with the QStat Cartridge as compared to corresponding measures determined using the TEG 5000.
