Reference Range Study for the Quantra System With the QStat Cartridge in Obstetric Patients

Reference Range Study for the Quantra System With the QStat Cartridge in Obstetric Patients

This study will determine reference range intervals for the parameters reported by the Quantra System with the QStat Cartridge in the last trimester of non-laboring pregnant women with an uncomplicated pregnancy

During pregnancy, there is a progressive shift of hemostasis toward a hypercoagulable state that is protective against postpartum hemorrhage. To assess the clinical utility of the Quantra System in high-risk OB patients during delivery, it is important to understand how the normal physiological changes of pregnancy impact Quantra results. This study will determine reference range intervals for the parameters reported by the Quantra System with the QStat Cartridge in the last trimester of non-laboring pregnant women with an uncomplicated pregnancy.
