Coagulation timer IVD

Coagulation timers are in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices designed to measure and record how long it takes for blood to clot after a reaction is triggered. Clinically, they help diagnose bleeding disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and assess clotting function by analyzing plasma or whole blood samples under controlled conditions.

These devices are typically regulated as IVDs, with classification and supply depending on the jurisdiction. They are used in laboratory settings and require validation for accuracy and reliability, often following standards like ISO 15189 for diagnostic performance. Their design ensures precise timing to support clinical decision-making in hematology.
