摘要:
The present invention concerns diagnostic means and methods in the field of coagulation testing. In particular, it relates to a method for determining an anticoagulant activity elicited by a first anticoagulant in a sample of a subject comprising measuring a first Factor Xa activity in a body fluid test sample of said subject, measuring a second Factor Xa activity in at least one calibrator sample comprising a predefined anticoagulation activity for a second anticoagulant, calculating an universal parameter for the anticoagulation activity comprised in the test sample based on the first and the second measured Factor Xa activities and comparing the said parameter for the anticoagulation activity with predefined ranges of expected anticoagulation activity for at least three anticoagulants. Further provided is a computer program code assisting the method as well as a system for carrying out the said method as well as a kit.

A reagent management system (110) is disclosed comprising a reagent container section (112) for receiving reagent containers (7, 8, 9) and a reagent reconstitution device for reconstituting dry, or lyophilized, reagents or concentrated reagents provided in the reagent containers (7, 8, 9) in order to carry out in-vitro diagnostic tests with the reconstituted reagents. The reagent management system (110) further comprises a controller (180) programmed to instruct the reagent reconstitution device to automatically reconstitute an initial total volume of a selected reagent type in one or more reagent containers (7, 8, 9), wherein the initial total volume is calculated based at least on an open container stability time (OCS) of the reconstituted reagent type for each reagent container (7, 8, 9) and on a number of tests that can be carried out within the open container stability time (OCS) of the reconstituted reagent type. A reagent container holder (10) for use by the reagent management system (110) is also disclosed. Methods of automatically reconstituting a dry, or lyophilized reagent, or a concentrated liquid reagent provided in a reagent container (7, 8, 9) in order to carry out an in-vitro diagnostic test with the reconstituted reagent are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a modular analysis systems. The invention enables the topology of a modular analysis system to be determined without the need to use additional expensive measures, such as a system reset. The method/system is also adapted to industry standards such that CAN-buses can be used.
