Hemochron Signature Elite Whole Blood Microcoagulation (IVD) System. The system is intended to be used only with test cuvettes that are available from ITC.

There is a mismatch between the class of the laser barcode scanner and the labeling of the Hemochron Signature Elite: some of the devices were inadvertently equipped with class II laser barcode scanner instead of the intended class I barcode scanner.
