Clinical role and intended use Coagulation analyzers measure blood coagulation parameters essential for diagnosing bleeding and thrombotic disorders, monitoring anticoagulant therapies (e.g., warfarin, heparin), and guiding perioperative or emergency decisions. The START 4 focuses on core hemostasis assays such as prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), fibrinogen, and potentially chromogenic or immunologic assays depending on reagent options. Its targeted feature set makes it suitable for clinics, satellite labs, and hospital departments that require rapid turnaround for a moderate test volume. diagnostica stago start 4 coagulation analyzer manual
