portable coagulation monitoring device and method for evaluating the coagulation response

A device (11) for measuring the coagulation response in a blood sample, comprising: a first element (101) having a first surface and a second element (103) having a second surface, said first element is positioned to having said first surface facing said second surface of said second member and spaced a sufficient distance to allow a drop of blood sample into contact with said first surface and said second surface and initiate clotting, and said first element and second element they move in relation to each other in a direction parallel using linear and / or rotary; a mechanism (105, 107, 109) drive connected to at least one of said first member and said second member for linearly moving said first element and said second element relative each other in parallel using linear and / or rotating when a blood sample is in contact with said first surface and said second surface; characterized in that said device further comprises a system (111) optical detection sensors to detect the interaction of light with a blood sample located between said first element and second element as an indication of the coagulation response of said blood sample.
