This is not just any POC coagulation device.
A Lineage of Trust: Over 40 Years The Hemochron Signature Elite comes from a lineage of trust with POC coordinators for over 40 years, starting with the first to market - tube based Hemochronometer in 1969. The progression of the Hemochron product family has been at the forefront of coagulation monitoring and today the Signature Elite is the established market leader.

Clot Detection Method:
Common Pathway:
Abbot i-STAT Stops Here
True End-Point Clot Detection Signature Elite uses a mechanical-optical method to detect a true end-point clot. Compared to other platforms that use an electrochemical method to detect a thrombin substrate, Signature Elite’s detection method actually reflects the formation of a fibrin clot. This provides confidence that the target time results are measured from an accurate representation of the clotting process.
Small Sample Volume1 Drop. 2 Drops. Done! Signature Elite test cuvettes only require 1-2 drops of the blood sample to get a fast and accurate result. It’s simple and requires no additional sample preparation or measuring to get your coagulation test started.

Room Temperature StabilityHaving a long shelf life at room temperature allows your team to reduce refrig eration storage and save the time and resources associated with monitoring and documentation. Hemochron Signature Elite test cuvettes are designed to have up to a 12 week shelf life** at room temperature giving hospital departments the flexibility to use immediately in critical moments.
RapidCount Technology RapidCount technology is exclusive to the Hemochron Signature Elite’s ACT+ tests, which provides accelerated results. The difference is measurable when you compare that to other platforms that may take 8 minutes or more to get an ACT result.
**Room temperature shelf life cannot exceed the manufacturer’s documented expiration date.
