Abstract

An instrument (100) for determining a coagulation characteristic of blood, a blood fraction or a control (514) includes a heater (182, 192) and a heater control (322). The heater comprises a heater element (182) supported (192) in heat conducting relationship to the blood, blood fraction or control (514) when the instrument (100) is in use. The temperature of the heater element support (192) is monitored (188). The heater control (322) comprises a first temperature setpoint control (428) and a second temperature setpoint control (SETPoinT 2). The heater control (322) is coupled to the heater element support monitor (188), and the heater element (182) is coupled to the heater control (322) to be controlled thereby.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 23 February 1995 (23.02.95); original claims 1-11 replaced by new claims 1-11 (3 pages)]
1. A combination heater and heater control for an instrument for monitoring a reaction which occurs when the reactants are heated, the heater comprising an electrically resistive pattern, means for supporting the pattern in heat conducting relationship to the reactants when the instrument is in use, means for monitoring the temperature of the support means, means for mounting the means for monitoring the temperature of the support means adjacent the support means, means for coupling the monitoring means to the heater control, and means for coupling the pattern to the control.
2. The system of claim 1 in an instrument for determining a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control, the instrument comprising a first temperature setpoint control and a second temperature setpoint control.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein the instrument comprises a controller and the second temperature setpoint control comprises an output terminal of the controller for providing a signal that the support means is to be heated from ambient temperature for determining the coagulation characteristic.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the means for monitoring the temperature of the support means comprises a temperature sensitive element.
6. The system of claim 4 wherein the first temperature setpoint control comprises a potentiometer for setting the temperature at which the support means is to be maintained during the reaction.
7. In an instrument for determining a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control, the combination of a heater and a heater control, the heater comprising a heater element, means for supporting the heater element in heat conducting relationship to the biological fluid or control when the instrument is in use, means for monitoring the temperature of the support means, means for mounting the means for monitoring the temperature of the support means adjacent the support means, the heater control comprising a first temperature setpoint control and a second temperature setpoint control, means for coupling the monitoring means to the heater control, and means for coupling the heater element to the heater control.
8. The system of claim 7 wherein the instrument comprises a controller and the second temperature setpoint control comprises an output terminal of the controller for providing a signal that the support means is to be heated from ambient temperature for determining the characteristic of the biological fluid or control.
9. The system of claim 8 wherein the heater control, the monitoring means and the means for coupling the monitoring means to the heater control together comprise a differential amplifier and a bridge circuit having first, second, third and fourth bridge legs, the differential amplifier including an inverting input terminal and a non-inverting input terminal, means for coupling the inverting input terminal and the first and second legs of the bridge together, and means for coupling the non-inverting input terminal and the third and fourth legs of the bridge together, the second leg of the bridge including the first temperature setpoint control and the fourth leg of the bridge including the means for monitoring the temperature of the support means.
10. The system of claim 9 wherein the means for monitoring the temperature of the support means comprises a temperature sensitive element.
11. The system of claim 9 wherein the first temperature setpoint control comprises a potentiometer for setting the temperature at which the support means is to be maintained during the reaction.
