LOINC long common name : Spatial clot growth analysis panel - Platelet poor plasma;
LOINC short name : Spatial clot growth Pnl PPP;
LOINC description : The spatial clot growth analysis panel is used to report the results of clot formation
and growth over time. Such results include the time to clot formation, density, velocity
of clot formation, and time to spontaneous clot formation. This panel was created
for, but is not limited in use to, the Submitter's Hemacore Thrombodynamics analyser,
which uses time-lapse microscopy to take images of clot formation after plasma is
placed in contact with immobilized tissue factor (TF). Parameters include those regarding
clot formation at the point of contact between the plasma sample and the TF as well
as spontaneous clot formation in the portion of the plasma sample that has not been
in direct contact with TF. The recommended specimen for the Hemacore Thrombodynamics
analyser is platelet free plasma, defined as 1000 platelets/uL.;
