The HMS Plus System provides the visibility into actual heparin levels that ACT alone cannot—a critical difference in today’s challenging environment. ACT (Activated Clotting Time) is a global test that reflects numerous variables, from hemodilution and temperature to medications and patient coagulopathies. By contrast, the HMS Plus System specifically measures heparin concentration. This enables surgical teams to dose, manage and neutralize heparin precisely and appropriately for each individual, helping prevent fibrin formation and preserve patient clotting factors.
