Description
MAX-ACT – MAX-ACT Tubes (Gray Flip-Top), 50 tubes/box
MAX-ACT Tubes, with an upper linearity limit of 6 units of heparin per mL of blood, are ideal for monitoring patients receiving moderate to high heparin dosages. For maximum heparin specificity, MAX-ACT contains multiple particulate activators – kaolin, celite, and glass beads – that ensure maximal Factor XII activation and compensate for potential patient sensitivity to a single activator. To perform test, simply add 0.5 cc of whole blood to the MAX-ACT tube, mix and insert into the Actalyke. Results are displayed in seconds. Store tubes at room temperature.
C-ACT – Celite ACT Tubes (Black Flip-Top), 50 tubes/box
C-ACT Tubes contain a celite (diatomaceous earth) activator and can be used to monitor patients undergoing procedures requiring administration of moderate to high heparin concentrations. Perform testing by adding 2.0 cc of whole blood to the tube, mix, and insert tube into the Actalyke. Store Celite ACT tubes at room temperature.
K-ACT – Kaolin ACT Tubes (Yellow Flip-Top), 50 tubes/box
Kaolin ACT Tubes are useful in monitoring patients receiving moderate to high heparin concentrations, in the presence of anti-fibrinolytics. Testing requires adding 2.0 cc of whole blood to the tube, mix, and insert tube into the Actalyke. Store tubes at room temperature.
G-ACT – Glass Bead ACT Tubes (White Flip-Top), 50 tubes/box
The Glass Bead ACT is useful for monitoring patients undergoing procedures requiring low to moderate heparin dosages.
