Haematology and coagulation
PT/INR point-of-care testing for monitoring warfarin therapy, and haematology analysers for veterinary clinics.
Products
The Coag-Sense PT2 measures prothrombin time and INR from a 10–12 µl fingertip sample in less than a minute. Edan's H30 Vet and H60 Vet give a 3-part or 5-part blood count at the veterinary clinic from a 6.5 or 16 µl sample.
In Finland we supply Coag-Sense PT/INR meters and Edan haematology analysers.
Coag-Sense PT2
PT/INR meter for point-of-care testing: result from a fingertip sample in less than a minute, INR 0.8–8.0.
H30 Vet
3-part veterinary haematology analyser: 25 parameters from a 6.5 µl sample, 50 tests per hour.
H60 Vet
5-part veterinary haematology analyser: 31 parameters, laser and flow cytometry, 60 tests per hour.
Applications
Monitoring warfarin therapy
INR 0.8–8.0
Measurement from a fingertip sample in the clinic or on the ward. The Coag-Sense PT2 is intended for monitoring warfarin-type therapy, not for patients on DOACs or heparin.
Small animal clinic
6.5 µl, 50 tests/h
The H30 Vet gives a 3-part differential from a small sample, so it is also suitable for small and newborn animals.
Extended differential
5-part, 31 parameters
The H60 Vet separates white cells into five groups by laser and flow cytometry. The research-use parameters ALY and LIC indicate atypical lymphocytes and large immature cells.

PT/INR at the point of care
The Coag-Sense PT2 measures the true prothrombin time mechanically with the wheel in the test strip and calculates the INR from it using the strip lot data. Strip lots are calibrated traceably to the WHO manual tilt tube method, and the ISI is approximately 1.0.
During heparin bridging, the manufacturer recommends a laboratory sample. Results outside the measuring range of 0.8–8.0 are confirmed with another method.
- Sample10–12 µl of capillary blood into the strip well
- MixingThe rotor mixes the sample with thromboplastin
- ClotA clot forms on the surface of the rotor
- Light beamThe clot interrupts the light beam
- ResultTrue PT in seconds, and INR
Glossary
ISI
The sensitivity index of a thromboplastin lot, used to convert prothrombin time into an INR value.
Tilt tube method
The WHO reference method, in which clot formation is detected by tilting the tube.
RUO
Research use only: the parameter is intended for research use, not for diagnostics.
ALY and LIC
Atypical lymphocytes (ALY) and large immature cells (LIC), research-use parameters on the H60 Vet.
NLR and PLR
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio.

Frequently asked questions
If you cannot find an answer, call +358 10 841 1600 or email asiakaspalvelu@diagnostica.fi.
Is the Coag-Sense suitable for monitoring patients on DOACs?
No. The meter is intended for monitoring warfarin-type therapy. It is not used to monitor patients receiving heparin or direct anticoagulants.
Can the INR meter measure a venous sample?
No. The Coag-Sense PT2 measures only fresh capillary blood from the fingertip.
Which species are Edan's analysers suitable for?
Cat, dog, horse, sheep, goat, cattle, pig, rabbit, rat, mouse, monkey, camel, llama and panda. An unlimited number of custom species can be defined.
