Refurbished Sysmex CA660

The Sysmex CA-660 is a compact, fully automated hemostasis analyzer tailored for low-to-medium volume clinical laboratories, ideal as a primary unit or backup instrument in larger facilities. It integrates clotting, chromogenic, and immunoturbidimetric detection principles, delivering reliable results for both routine and specialized coagulation testing. Below is a detailed breakdown of its core features and specifications:

Core Performance

• Testing Throughput: Max. 60 tests/hour (PT-only); 48 tests/hour for PT/APTT/Fbg combinations; 16 tests/hour for D-dimer.
• Test Menu: Covers routine clotting (PT, APTT, Fbg, TT), coagulation factor assays (II, V, VII–XII), lupus anticoagulant screening, chromogenic tests (AT III, plasminogen, protein C), and immunoturbidimetric assays (D-dimer, vWF:Ag).
• Sample Handling: 60 reaction tubes; 1 dedicated STAT position; supports 2–20 μL sample volumes (adjustable) and 5–200 μL reagent volumes.

Key Systems & Technology

1. Detection Technology

• Proven optical detection (660 nm) with scattered light and end-point methods, enabling visual clot formation monitoring.
• Built-in algorithms detect abnormal in-vitro clotting to prevent inaccurate reporting.
  2. Workflow Efficiency
• Up to 14 programmable test protocols; bidirectional LIS connectivity; integrated barcode reader for automated sample ID.
• Compact footprint (smallest in Sysmex’s automated hemostasis line) with a color touchscreen for intuitive operation.
  3. Reliability & Cost-Effectiveness
• Uses Sysmex’s standardized reagent system for consistency; 60-reaction tube capacity minimizes manual intervention.
• Robust construction ensures long-term stability; low reagent/sample consumption reduces operational costs.

Applications

Suitable for routine coagulation profiling, thrombophilia screening (protein C/S, AT III), heparin monitoring, D-dimer testing (for excluding DVT/PE), and vWF activity assessment, supporting comprehensive hemostasis management in clinical settings.
