CAFCFirst Claim
1. A device for evaluation of hemostasis, comprising:
- a plurality of cavities, including a first cavity, a second cavity and a third cavity, wherein each of the plurality of cavities comprises one or more reagents therein;
ductwork, including an inlet for receiving a test sample, wherein the ductwork is in communication with each of the plurality of cavities, whereby each of the plurality of cavities is configured to receive, via the ductwork, a portion of the test sample,wherein the first cavity comprises one or more reagents configured for extrinsic activation of the coagulation cascade;
wherein the second cavity comprises (i) one or more reagents configured for extrinsic activation of the coagulation cascade and (ii) one or more reagents configured for suppressing thrombocyte function; and
wherein the third cavity comprises one or more reagents configured for intrinsic activation of the coagulation cascade.
