RxDx® Dosing System Module
The RxDx system software (Heparin and Protamine Response tests) provides testing that can determine the appropriate doses of heparin and protamine during cardiopulmonary bypass. By determining the dose for each individual patient, the RxDx system can improve patient outcomes by reducing blood loss and save money by decreasing use of blood products.
