The Refurbished Medtronic ACT Plus Automated Coagulation Timer System is a portable, microprocessor-controlled point-of-care coagulation testing device designed to measure Activated Clotting Time (ACT) in fresh or citrated whole-blood samples.
The system is intended for monitoring high-dose heparin anticoagulation during procedures where rapid coagulation assessment is required. Its automated clot-detection technology uses a photo-optical system to identify fibrin clot formation, providing objective ACT measurement through compatible test cartridges.
The ACT Plus supports multiple cartridge types, including High-Range ACT (HR-ACT), Low-Range ACT (LR-ACT), heparinase, and recalcified tests. Dual-channel testing allows applicable tests to be performed through the system's cartridge-based workflow.
With digital displays, internal data storage, and external connectivity, the system can support patient and quality-control data tracking in professional healthcare environments.
As a refurbished coagulation timer, the ACT Plus can provide a cost-effective solution for hospitals and procedure areas requiring point-of-care ACT testing. Exact cartridge compatibility, software, accessories, calibration status, and device condition should be confirmed for the individual unit.

How the ACT Plus Detects Clot Formation
The ACT Plus uses a photo-optical clot-detection system. During testing, the sample is processed through a compatible cartridge. As coagulation occurs and a fibrin clot forms, the movement of the cartridge's plunger slows.
The system detects this change automatically and determines the corresponding Activated Clotting Time (ACT).
Test Cartridge Options
The system supports multiple test types designed for different coagulation-testing requirements:
HR-ACT
High-Range Activated Clotting Time testing for applications requiring higher ACT measurement ranges.
LR-ACT
Low-Range Activated Clotting Time testing for applicable lower-range coagulation measurements.
Data Management
The ACT Plus includes features intended to support clinical and quality-control documentation:
- Digital test-result display
- Built-in data storage
- Patient data tracking
- Quality-control tracking
- External connectivity
- Data transfer capabilities where configured
