SUMMARY

We evaluated the Fully Automated Blood Coagulation Analyzer CA-650 (CA-650; Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan) for performance of coagulation and fibrinolysis assays. Results of within-run reproducibility and on-board stability of the reagents were good. There was also a good correlation of results from CA-650 with the Fully Automated Blood Coagulation Analyzer CA-500 Series (CA-500 Series; Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan). The analytical performance of CA-650 supports its use in a routine coagulation testing laboratory.

KEY WORDS
