(0) DANBURY, Conn., May 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Perosphere Technologies Inc. today announced CE (Conformité Européene)-IVD Marking of its Point-of-Care (PoC) Coagulometer System. The CE Mark confirms that the Company's PoC Coagulometer System meets the safety requirements of the European In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices Directive (98/79/EC) and allows Perosphere Technologies to begin commercialization of its products throughout the European Union and other CE Mark geographies. The Perosphere Technologies PoC Coagulometer is a hand-held device, equipped with a color touch screen, barcode reader, and an eight hour run-time battery for use at the patient's bedside. The PoC Coagulometer technology measures the intrinsic clotting time of fresh whole blood, providing an unprecedented look at blood coagulability, addressing several unmet medical needs. In particular, the PoC Coagulometer is the first point of care device to enter the market specifically designed for direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC, e.g., rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban) and low molecular weight heparin (LWMH) coagulation testing in both emergency and outpatient settings. Performing a measurement is simple and easy, requiring only 14 microliters of fresh venous whole blood to load into a single-use cuvette. The result is a whole blood clotting time (WBCT, reported as a clotting time in seconds) that is available in 4-6 minutes, and is used to determine if a patient is appropriately anticoagulated.
