HemoSonics - UTMB Cardiac Surgery Study

Completed
Conditions
Blood Loss, Surgical
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Quantra System
Registration Number
NCT03988465
Lead Sponsor
HemoSonics LLC
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the performance of the Quantra System comprised of the Quantra Hemostasis Analyzer with the Quantra QPlus Cartridge in patients undergoing cardiac surgery utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass, including the placement of a ventricular access device.

Detailed Description

The Quantra System is a fully integrated and automated in vitro diagnostic device which uses SEER Sonorheometry, and ultrasound-based technology, to characterize the viscoelastic properties of a whole blood sample during coagulation. The Quantra QPlus Cartridge was developed to monitor hemostasis during major surgical procedures in adult patients. The cartridge consists of four independent channels each containing different sets of reagents, which provide four measurements performed in parallel yielding six parameters that depict the functional status of a patient's coagulation system.

This single-center, prospective, observational study will evaluate the performance of the Quantra System as compared to and comparable measures determined using the TEG 5000.
