The HMS Plus Hemostasis Management System is a reliable and versatile platform used to perform multiple tests for heparin management. By providing information regarding the individual patient's response to heparin, the HMS Plus System determines the appropriate dose for the patient so that the needed anticoagulant and antithrombotic effect can be achieved.
Reliable Heparin Monitoring for Critical ProceduresThe Medtronic HMS Plus Cartridges deliver accurate, real-time measurement of whole blood heparin concentration, ensuring optimal patient care during complex medical procedures. Designed exclusively for use with the HMS Plus Analyzer, their sterile, latex-free construction ensures both patient safety and impeccable test outcomes. These single-use cartridges are indispensable for managing heparin dose-response in both adult and pediatric populations needing precision monitoring.
Engineered for Convenience and ComplianceEach tan cartridge is individually sealed and clearly color-coded, facilitating efficient workflow and minimizing handling errors. The cartridges comply with stringent medical device standards (CE, FDA) and include lot number details for complete traceability. Suitable for storage at room temperature, they are portable and easy to use-simply insert into the HMS Plus Analyzer and dispose of as biomedical waste after single patient use.
