Evaluation of the Quantra QStat System in Obstetric Patients

Completed
Conditions
Blood Loss Massive
Post Operative Hemorrhage
Interventions
Device: Quantra System
Registration Number
NCT05875987
Lead Sponsor
HemoSonics LLC
Brief Summary

This pilot study will assess the performance of the Quantra System with the QStat Cartridge versus standard of care coagulation testing in bleeding pregnant women at delivery.

Detailed Description

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 properties of a whole blood sample during coagulation. The QStat Cartridge was developed to monitor hemostasis in patients that may experience a range of coagulopathies of various etiologies including fibrinolytic defects. These patients include the tobstetric hemorrhage population. The cartridge consists of four independent channels each containing different sets of reagents, which provide four measurements performed in parallel yielding five parameters that depict the functional status of a patient's coagulation system.

This single-center, prospective, observational pilot study will evaluate the performance of the Quantra System with the QStat Cartridge as compared to standard of care coagulation testing in bleeding pregnant women at delivery.
