Model Cascade M-4 - Manual Coagulation Analyzer

Easy-to-Use Keypad, On-Screen Prompts

All tests are clearly enumerated on the keypad for fast, easy test selection - there`s no guess work caused by "hidden" function keys. Computer prompts appear on the screen to conveniently step the user through testing. Default settings are preprogrammed but can easily be changed, if desired.

Computerized Features, On-Board QC

Cascade M-4 stores standard curves and calculates patient results, INRs and aPTT ratios. Quality control tasks are easy because Cascade M-4 can calculate mean, SD and CV, plus plot and print Levy-Jennings QC charts. Four Independent photo-optic detection sources read all samples, regardless of turbidity.

Compact, Lightweight

With a benchtop footprint smaller than 14" wide by 14" deep and a weight of approximately 21 pounds, Cascade M-4 is sized to fit any lab. Compact size, dependability and versatility make Cascade M-4 an excellent choice as a primary analyzer for smaller laboratories or as a backup unit for larger coagulation analyzers.
