  • Reason
    The manufacturer's research has shown that a carryover tool may occur on an instrument in the acl top analyzer family that causes a shortening of the "aptt" time in patient samples and / or control samples when the hemosil synthasil reagent (pn 0020006800) is placed on the same reagent carrier , together with some other hemosil reagents. interference occurs during the liquid height check (liquid height check) that is performed after mounting the supports and depends on the position of the material, the order in which the supports are placed and the order in which the tests are performed. the degree of shortening of coagulation time varies from instrument to instrument and is not reproducible on all instruments. in some cases, this problem manifested as shortening the "aptt" time by more than ten seconds.
