Definitions
- PT prothrombin time
- APTT activated partial thromboplastin time
- ACT activated clotting time
- the PT test measures the activation of the extrinsic pathway by addition of tissue thromboplastin.
- APTT is used primarily to monitor heparin therapy.
- the test detects factor changes in the intrinsic coagulation cascade (factors VIII, IX, XI, XII and other enzymes and factors) .
- factor changes in the intrinsic coagulation cascade factors VIII, IX, XI, XII and other enzymes and factors.
- the test reagents for this type of test have not yet been standardized and therefore differences in the heparin sensitivity of reagents from different manufacturers are considerable.
- ACT is determined to monitor heparinization in situations where an APTT test cannot be performed, because the patient was administered a high dose of heparin.
- the coagulation parameters are determined by "wet chemistry" tests. An aliquot of blood sample is mixed with liquid reagents and the point of time at which the blood clots is detected. The results are indicated either directly (in seconds) or in the form of derived quantities such as ratio to " a respective normal value (in percent) . With respect to PT further common quantities for indication of the test results are % Quick and INR (International Normalized Ratio) .
- test elements disposable reagent carrier elements
- evaluation instrument which generally is adapted for the evaluation of a particular type of test element from a particular ' manufacturer.
- the test element contains the reagent system necessary for the particular test and, preferably, suitable information for the evaluation of the test such as the test type, the lot number and the expiration date.
- Each test ' element is designed to allow a drop of a blood or plasma sample (which depending on the test may be pretreated, in particular by reaction with a preparatory anticoagulant) applied thereto to contact and dissolve a reagent system (which normally comprises a plurality of reagents) present in the test element and suitable to initiate the reaction sequence of the blood coagulation path.
- a reagent system which normally comprises a plurality of reagents
- the resulting coagulation detection liquid is present in a coagulation detection zone of the test element.
- the coagulation process is monitored by observing a measurable property of the coagulation detection liquid which changes in a characteristic manner when a defined reaction step of the coagulation path occurs.
- the system comprises means for- detecting such change and generating a corresponding signal by the measurement and evaluation electronics of the instrument.
- the measurement and evaluation electronics also includes a time measurement electronics for measuring a coagulation time required for the change to occur. This time is converted into the desired coagulation parameter .(in the appropriate units) .
- evaluation data stored in the instrument and/or in the test element can be used. The results are then displayed on a display of the instrument and/or forwarded to further evaluation, for example by a separate computer system.
- the sample may be whole blood or plasma.
- Known coagulation test systems differ inter alia with respect to the measurable property of the coagulation detection liquid which is used to measure the coagulation time and with respect to the arrangement by which the contacting of the sample with the reagents is achieved as well as by the design of the detection zone:
- the measurable property of the liquid is its viscosity which can be detected e.g. by including magnetic particles into the reagent system.
- the moveability of these particles can be detected by means of an alternating magnetic field.
- the increase of the viscosity caused by the onset of coagulation is the change marking the end of the coagulation time.
- a chemical constituent the concentration of which changes at a defined point of the coagulation path, can be used to mark the end of the coagulation time.
- the enzyme thrombin the final protease for both plasmatic coagulation pathways
- thrombin the final protease for both plasmatic coagulation pathways
- known means including a reagent present in the reagent system of the test element which is suitable to generate an electrical or optical signal which can be measured by the evaluation instrument (see e.g. WO 01/63271) .
- a reagent present in the reagent system of the test element which is suitable to generate an electrical or optical signal which can be measured by the evaluation instrument (see e.g. WO 01/63271) .
- sample application point of the test element is located at a distance 5 from the coagulation detection zone and the transport of the sample liquid from the former to the latter is accomplished by a capillary channel (see US patent 5,789,664) .
- the invention addresses the task to simplify 25 the design of systems for determining coagulation parameters while simultaneously maintaining the required degree of accuracy.
- a system for the determination 30 of a coagulation parameter of blood or plasma samples of patients, said system comprising a disposable test element including a reagent system to be mixed with the sample, thereby forming a coagulation detection liquid, and a coagulation detection zone where the coagulation 35 detection liquid is contained for monitoring a measurable property of the coagulation detection liquid, said measurable property changing during coagulation, and an instrument with a holder for holding said disposable test element inserted therein and with a measurement and evaluation electronics adapted for detecting a signal which corresponds to the measurable property .
- the instrument has a non-volatile memory containing data which define a mathematical relationship of coagulation time versus temperature which relationship is independent of the individual patient whose blood is examined, and the coagulation parameter for the standard temperature is calculated from the coagulation time measured at said non-standard temperature, using said mathematical relationship.
- Known systems for the determination of coagulation parameters generally comprise some kind- of thermostating device designed to maintain during the coagulation measurement a defined standard temperature, usually 37°C. This requires an electric heater and an electronic temperature control system, Based on the invention such a thermostating device is not necessary. Rather the coagulation measurement can be made at a convenient temperature (e.g. room temperature) . Nevertheless accurate values of the desired coagulation parameter can be deter- mined which are directly comparable to those determined at the standard temperature. This leads to a plurality of advantages :
- the heating system is expensive and consumes more battery energy than all other components combined.
- the volume, weight and cost of the instruments can be reduced substantially if no heating system and a smaller battery are required.
- PT 37 PT value for the standard temperature of 37°C PT T : PT value for a (lower) non-standard temperature.
- Coagulation detection is, however, fundamentally different from the detection of the concentration of an analyte such as glucose .
- the temperature dependence of glucose tests is caused by influencing factors which are independent of the individual sample which is tested.
- the enzymatic reaction on which the test is based depends on the temperature.
- a coagulation test is fundamentally different since it is essentially an experimental model of the natural coagulation process which - as is well known - involves a highly complicated reaction of more than ten factors and enzymes in the blood of the particular patient .
- the fact that the coagulation behaviour of blood is different for every individual is also apparent from the fact that the dosage of corresponding medication (e.g. Heparin or Marcumar) has to be individually adapted.
- This publication refers to PT tests performed in a glass tube which are immersed into a water bath to allow exact control of the temperature.
- the author refers to problems caused by deviations, from the standard temperature of 37°C, e.g. in case the glass tube is not immersed sufficiently deeply and by the fact that the tube has to be withdrawn from the water bath repeatedly in order to check the coagulation status. In order to reduce these problems a lowering of the generally accepted standard temperature from 37°C to 30°C is considered.
- US-patent 5,031,619 refers to a Bleeding Time Test. In such tests an incision of predetermined dimensions is applied to the skin of a patient and the time is measured from a moment that bleeding through the incision begins to the moment coagulation appears to occur.
- Such bleeding time measurements are used as screening tests for evaluation of the hemostatic adequacy of platelets which depends on platelet number and platelet function. It is a qualitative (or at most semi-quantitative) test allowing screening for certain disorders (e.g. Glanzmann's thro basthenia) .
- the patent refers to the earlier known fact that the rate at which external bleeding occurs is roughly inversely proportional to the temperature of the subject's skin and suggests to use a fixed factor of 0.05 per degree in order to compensate for variations of the temperature of the subject.

- Fig. 2 shows a schematic design diagram of a preferred system according to the invention
- Fig. 3 shows an enlarged view of an element temperature sensor shown in fig. 2;
- Fig. 4 shows a graphical representation of the ratio PT 37 /PT T vs. T[°C]/37 for a series of experi- ments performed in the context of the invention
- Fig. 5 shows a graphical representation of experimental results comparing the invention with a conventional determination of INR values
- Figs. 6 to 10 show results corresponding to figure 4 performed with different coagulation parameter tests.
- Figure 1 is a crossectional schematic representation of a coagulation test system comprising an evaluation instrument 1 and a disposable test element 2.
- the test element has a sample application opening 3, a capillary channel 4 and a space 5 which serves as reaction chamber and coagulation detection zone 6.
- the channel 4 is very short and can even be omitted because with a system according to the invention coagulation detection zone 6 need not' be thermostated and is, when test element 2 is inserted in a holder 8 of instrument 1, preferably located outside the housing of the instrument 1 close to sample application opening 3.
- Space 5 receives the coagulation detection liquid which is formed by mixing of a sample applied to the. sample application field 3 and a reagent system (not shown) .
- Coagulation detection is performed in the coagulation detection zone 6 by detecting a change of a coagulation- related measurement quantity of the liquid contained therein.
- the resulting signals are transmitted via lines 9 to a measurement and evaluation unit 13 which controls the operation of the instrument.
- Coagulation detection can be performed by any of the methods known from the prior art, in particular by optical or electrochemical means, see e.g. US patent 5,789,664 and WO 01/11356. Details of a preferred embodiment will be described below.
- the system of the invention comprises a temperature measuring device 7 which is suitable for measuring the temperature of the coagulation detection zone 6.
- a temperature measuring device 7 which is suitable for measuring the temperature of the coagulation detection zone 6.
- infrared temperature detection can be used as described in WO 01/33214.
- a temperature measurement sensor in particular a thermistor, is integrated as element temperature sensor 14 into test element 2 and connected by plug-in contacts to the electronics of the instrument.
- a instrument temperature sensor 15 may be provided and used as will be described in more detail below.
- Test element 2 carries information relating to test type and reagent lot in an information field 10 which is evaluated by an element information reader 11.
- the detected information signal is transmitted via lines (not shown) to the measurement and evaluation unit 13.
- Information field 10 and information reader 11 are shown only schematically.
- a barcode and an appropriate barcode detector can be used as a preferred example .
- a ROM key 16 sits exchangeably in a ROM key holder 17 and is connected to the central measurement and evaluation unit 13 for data exchange therewith. It includes a memory 18 in which data required for evaluation of the test are stored. These data may depend on the manufacturing lot of the test element.
- information field 10 contains identification data which are specific for the manufacturing lot of the particular test element 2. This information is read by information reader 11 and compared with lot identification data stored in ROM key 16 in order to make sure that the ROM key inserted into the instrument corresponds to the manufacturing lot of the test element 2.
- Memory 18 of ROM key 16 also includes data describing the mathematical relationship of coagulation time versus temperature which is used for calculating the desired coagulation parameter for a standard temperature from the coagulation time measured at a non-standard temperature. Alternatively these data may also be contained in a permanent memory of instrument 1.
- the central measurement and evaluation unit 13 may consist of conventional electronic circuitry including an ASIC 20 and a circuit board 21. It comprises a programmable microprocessor for controlling the instrument functions and performing the required calculations. In particular it combines the signal information received from coagulation detection device 6, element information device 11, non—volatile memory 18 and temperature measuring device 7 to derive the desired coagulation parameter. This result is transmitted to a display (not shown) of instrument 1. Power for the instrument operation is provided by a battery 22.
- instrument 1 must not be equipped with a thermostating system including a heater and electric heating control . Rather it uses a temperature measuring device 7 for measuring (directly or indirectly) the temperature of the coagulation detection liquid in the coagulation detection area and the mathematical relationship stored in memory 18 to calculate the coagulation parameter for the standard temperature .
- measuring the temperature adjacent to the space in which the coagulation detection liquid is contained is sufficient to allow accurate calculation of a desired standard coagulation parameter (which would have been obtained at a controlled temperature of approximately 37°C) from measurements performed at a deviating (generally substantially lower) temperature using a mathematical relationship which is independent of the respective sample and can therefore be stored in a non-volatile memory of the instrument and repeatedly used for a plurality of different individuals (patients) .
- the measurement and evaluation unit 13 is adapted to perform the required calculations.
- Figures 2 and 3 show important design features of a preferred embodiment of a coagulation test system partly as top view showing a preferred layout of test element layers and partly as block diagram of the electronics.
- Coagulation detection is performed by an arrangement of reagents and electrodes as shown in the upper part of figure 2.
- the required accurate measurement of the temperature of the coagulation detection zone is achieved by the combined use of an element temperature sensor 14 integrated into the test element and an instrument temperature sensor 15 located at the instrument
- the test element preferably has two layers of electric leads such as layers A and B shown in figure 2.
- Such layers can be applied in known manner onto a non-conducting (plastic) carrier foil and separated by an isolating layer. Electrical contact between the electrode arrangement provided by the leads of the layers and the instrument is achieved by element contact pads 25 and 26 respectively which provide electrical connection with corresponding instrument contacts 27 (figure 1) .
- element contact pads 25 and 26 respectively which provide electrical connection with corresponding instrument contacts 27 (figure 1) .
- a capillary channel 4 is provided on top of layer A. All these design elements can be embodied by known means therefore no further description thereof is required.
- Electrode arrangement A of figure 2 comprises five electrodes including a first counter electrode 30, a drop detection electrode 31, a working electrode 32,. a second counter electrode 33 with two fingers 34 surrounding the working electrode 32 and a stirrup-shaped fill detection electrode 35.
- the electrode structure may be produces e.g. by laser ablation techniques out of gold layers of about 50 ⁇ m thickness.
- Counter electrode 30 is located close to fill opening 3 and is covered by a reference reagent layer 37 containing e.g. Ag/AgCl .
- Working electrode 32 and second counter electrode 2 are covered by a coagulation detection reagent 38 which includes the required reagent system to start the reactions of the coagulation path.
- Reagent layer 38 also contains any reagents required for detection of the appropriate measurable property, in particular in the preferred case of enzymatic detection of coagulation a substrate of the respective enzyme, for example the substrate electrozyme TH , of the enzyme thrombin.
- a test protocol performed with the system shown in figure 2 may include the following steps:
- the instrument is switched on automatically by inserting a test element and usual operation checks are performed.
- An enzyme activity is detected as measurable property of the coagulation detection liquid by electrochemical means.
- a suitable constant DC-potential is applied to working electrode 32' with reference to first counter electrode 30.
- current measurements are taken at suitable intervals (e.g. 0.1 seconds).
- the enzyme Thrombin is formed it cleaves an electrochemically active group from the substrate contained in reagent layer 38 thereby causing an increase of the current which is characteristic of the enzyme formation*. This change defines the end of the coagulation time which is used for deriving the desired coagulation parameter in known manner.
- Layer B shown in figure 2 is an example of electric leads suitable as element temperature sensor 14.
- Its temperature sensitive range 40 is defined by the area in which a very thin and narrow electric thermistor- conductor runs, typically in a meandering manner as shown in more detail in figure 3.
- Conductor 41 can be made from typical thermistor material with a large dependence of resistance versus temperature. However, also materials more common for test element manufacturing including a gold layer of sufficiently small thickness (less than 100 ⁇ m) has been found suitable.
- the resistance of the thermistor-conductor 41 is measured by a four-terminal arrangement where two terminals 42,43 are used for feeding a constant current into thermistor- conductor 41 and two separate terminals 44,45 are used to measure the resistance in current-free manner.
- the temperature signal generated by element temperature sensor 14 is used in combination with the signal generated by instrument sensor 15 to determine a reliable temperature value of high accuracy to be used for calculation of the coagulation parameter for the standard temperature from a measurement performed at a (lower) non-standard temperature :
- the element temperature sensor 14 is only used to provide information about temperature changes in close proximity of the coagulation detection zone 6. It is therefore not necessary for this sensor and the temperature measurement electronics 46 (which is part of measurement and evaluation electronics 13) to allow temperature measurement in absolute quantities.
- Instrument temperature sensor 15 is used to provide temperature information relative to the standard temperature. This temperature information has to be absolute in the sense that the measured difference from the standard temperature is (with a high degree of accuracy) the same for all instruments which is a necessary requirement for using the same mathematical relationship of coagulation time versus temperature for the temperature conversion of all instruments.
- the temperature of element temperature sensor 14 is monitored to derive an information about the change of the element temperature versus time or in other words the speed of element temperature change. Only when this speed of change falls below an acceptable value (in other words only when the temperature of the element 2 is sufficiently constant) a signal is given that a drop of a sample may be applied to the test element to perform a determination of coagulation parameter. If this condition is met the temperature value of instrument temperature sensor 15 is used as "true" temperature for the conversion.
- the temperature change of element temperature sensor 14 is monitored. Even better results are achieved if a coagulation determination takes place only when the speed of change of both temperature sensors is, below a suitable limit (which may be different for both sensors) indicating a highly constant temperature environment.
- test element temperature sensor need not provide absolute temperature values it can be incorporated relatively inexpensively into the disposable test elements.
- the instrument temperature sensor 15 needs not be located inside the instrument. Rather it can be even advantageous to locate sensor 15 at the outside of the instrument in a position where the environmental temperature is measured.
- the curve is a second order polynomial as shown in figure 4. This prooves the surprising fact that the temperature dependence can be described by a single functional relationship independent on the source of the samples used.
- FIG. 5 shows a comparison of INR-values determined according to the invention (designated INR I N V ) with corresponding data determined by a reference method (INRC KS ) • INR values are calculated by forming a ratio between PT and a Median Normal PT (MNPT) as is well known in the art .
- MNPT Median Normal PT
- MNPT Median Normal PT
- MNPT Median Normal PT
- Figures 6 to 10 show the results of experiments performed with a smaller number of samples but a plurality of different methods. In each case a ratio of a coagulation parameter at a standard temperature and the same parameter at the respective non-standard temperature (designated Y for PT-ratios, Z for INR-ratios and V for APTT-ratios) is plotted against the temperature ratio X.
- the individual figures are based on experiments using the following coagulation test systems: Figure 6 :
- CoaguCheck ® S Low ISI PT Strips These tests use dry Low ISI thromboplastin derived from human recombinant tissue factor requiring non-anticoagulated fresh venous of capillary blood. The samples were from patients on oral anticoagulant treatment.
- FIG. 7 CoaguCheck ® S Low Volume PT Strips. These strips contain High ISI thromboplastin derived from rabbit brains requiring non-anticoagulated fresh venous or capillary blood.
- This reagent contains Ortho Recombiplastin PT derived from human recombinant tissue factor requiring citrated plasma.
- Amelung 4 Channel Lab Analyzer with High ISI Lab reagent includes Dade C Plus PT derived from rabbit brains requiring citrated plasma.
