CVD causes blockages in arteries. To prevent platelets initiating coagulation complications, physicians prescribe antiplatelet therapy such as aspirin and\/or clopidogrel, but not all patients are compliant with prescribed dosing, and the degree of platelet inhibition may vary from patient to patient. To determine whether the regiment is effective, physicians have a number of platelet-reactivity tests at their disposal. Unfortunately, these tests are expensive, time consuming and burdensome for patients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Palatino;\">None of the platelet reactivity tests in the current market offer a simple and direct measure. There is a need for a quick, but effective test that can be performed at the point-of-care (POC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Palatino;\">The P.R.T. system uses proprietary technology to test the reactivity of platelets with the blood from a finger prick. The PlaCor system includes the reader and disposable cartridges. The cartridges have test chambers with a spring inside mimicking blocked arteries. The reader induces shear stress on the cartridge activating the platelets. The reader determines the clotting time and displays this time on the<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Palatino;\"> screen. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Palatino;\">Test results are ready within ten minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The product obtained CE marking and we are in the process of refactoring to make it a true POC device.
