The U.S. FDA recently cleared this low-range Heparin Management Test (LHMT) that measures lower doses of heparin for diagnostic and interventional cardiology. The test completes a menu of six assays for the Rapidpoint analyzer. Total heparin management is used in numerous therapies and various dosages throughout the hospital.
Heparin controls blood clotting in diagnostic cardiac and interventional procedures. Its management is necessary because patient response to the same dose of heparin varies widely.
