Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT Sample Clauses

Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT. 1.5.5.2.1 The mechanism of the CAT Xxxxxx and colleagues have developed a method to measure thrombin generation which was reproducible and accurate. (Xxxxxx et al., 2003) The thrombin generation assay measures the ability of plasma to generate thrombin following in-vitro activation of coagulation with tissue factor. A thrombin generation curve is produced which reflects both the initiation and propagation phase of coagulation, as well as the anti-coagulant and fibrinolytic phases. (Xxxxxx et al., 2000) CAT measures thrombin generation in whole or platelet poor plasma. (Xxxxxxx et al., 2013) The CAT test is performed in triplicate on the sample and on the calibrator, using a microtitre plate. In the measurement xxxxx, tissue factor and phospholipid vesicles are added to initiate coagulation, then a combination of calcium chloride and fluorogenic substrate is added to the sample. A known amount of substrate converting activity is added to the plasma in the xxxxx and a low-affinity fluorogenic substrate for thrombin is added. Thrombin causes splitting of the substrate, thus, the thrombin activity in the clotting plasma is continuously monitored via the colour change. The developing fluorescence is recorded by a fluorometer and the fluorescence output values are converted into thrombin generation curves by an integrated software, comparing the fluorogenic activity to a constant known thrombin activity in a simultaneously run non-clotting sample. The calibration xxxxx contain the thrombin calibrator, which consists of thrombin bound to alpha2- macroglobulin, which cannot be split by plasma protease inhibitors, thus, these xxxxx do not clot. The calibration xxxxx have a standard known amount of substrate converting activity, thus, the fluorogenic substrate is converted at a constant rate by the added thrombin calibrator. (Xxxxxx et al., 2000; Xxxxxx et al., 2003; Xxxxxx, Xxxx, 2004) The parameters of the thrombin generation curve are described in terms of lag time, peak height, area under the curve, time to peak and start tail (figure 3).

  • Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Xxxx has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Xxxx. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Xxxx (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Xxxx, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Xxxx will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.

  • DELIVERY: FOB DESTINATION, INSIDE DELIVERY, FREIGHT PAID Whenever possible, contractors should give the ordering entities 3 working days prior notice of any deliveries and/or installations. Furniture contractors will not be responsible for the removal/moving of existing furnishings unless requested by the ordering entity. Contractors should verify site readiness prior to delivery. All deliveries will be made during normal working hours unless otherwise arranged with the ordering entity. Contractor will communicate any scheduling delays and/or changes immediately. Agencies will not be responsible for any freight damage, concealed or otherwise.

  • Check Meters Developer, at its option and expense, may install and operate, on its premises and on its side of the Point of Interconnection, one or more check meters to check Connecting Transmission Owner’s meters. Such check meters shall be for check purposes only and shall not be used for the measurement of power flows for purposes of this Agreement, except as provided in Article 7.4 below. The check meters shall be subject at all reasonable times to inspection and examination by Connecting Transmission Owner or its designee. The installation, operation and maintenance thereof shall be performed entirely by Developer in accordance with Good Utility Practice.

  • API If the Software offers integration capabilities via an API, your use of the API may be subject to additional costs or Sage specific policies and terms and conditions (which shall prevail in relation to your use of the API). You may not access or use the API in any way that could cause damage to us or the Software, or in contravention of any applicable laws. We reserve the right in our sole discretion, to: (i) update any API from time to time; (ii) place limitations around your use of any API; and (iii) deny you access to any API in the event of misuse by you or to otherwise protect our legitimate interests.

  • Loss Leader; Recycled Products Contractor shall not sell or use any article or product as a “loss leader” as defined in Section 17030 of the Business and Professions Code. If Contractor will sell to the Judicial Council, or use in the performance of this Agreement, goods specified in PCC 12207 (for example, certain paper products, office supplies, mulch, glass products, lubricating oils, plastic products, paint, antifreeze, tires and tire-derived products, and metal products), then with respect to those goods: (i) Contractor shall use recycled products in the performance of this Agreement to the maximum extent doing so is economically feasible, and (ii) upon request, Contractor shall certify in writing under penalty of perjury, the minimum, if not exact, percentage of post consumer material as defined in the PCC 12200, in such goods regardless of whether the goods meet the requirements of PCC 12209.

  • Product Recall (a) If a recall is required by applicable Law, or if Buyer or Supplier reasonably determines that a recall is advisable because the goods may create a potential safety hazard, are not in compliance with any applicable code, standard or legal requirement, or contain a defect or non-conformance with the requirements of this Order occurring or likely to occur in multiple goods, which such defects or non-conformances are substantially similar or have substantially similar causes or effects (collectively a “Serial Defect”), the parties shall promptly communicate such facts to each other. At Buyer’s request, Supplier shall promptly develop a corrective action plan satisfactory to Buyer, which shall include all actions required to recall and/or repair the goods and any actions required by applicable Law (“Corrective Action Plan”) for Buyer’s review and approval. At Buyer’s election, Xxxxx may develop the Corrective Action Plan. In no event shall Buyer and Supplier’s failure to agree on the Corrective Action Plan delay the timely notification of a potential safety hazard, non-compliance or Serial Defect to users of the goods, cause either party to be non-compliant with applicable Law or prevent Buyer from taking reasonable actions to prevent injury or damage to persons, equipment or other property. Supplier and Buyer shall cooperate with and assist each other in any corrective actions and/or filings, if applicable. (b) To the extent a recall is required by applicable Law, or due to a potential safety hazard, non-compliance or Serial Defect, which is caused by Supplier, Supplier shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any recall, repair, replacement or refund program, including all costs related to: (i) investigating and/or inspecting the affected goods; (ii) notifying Buyer’s customers; (iii) repairing, or where repair of the goods is impracticable or impossible, repurchasing or replacing the recalled goods; (iv) packing and shipping the recalled goods; and (v) media notification. Each party shall consult the other before making any statements to the public or a governmental agency relating to such recall, potential safety hazard, non- compliance or Serial Defect, except where such consultation would prevent timely notification required by Law.
