title: Computerization of three-channel thrombelastograph.
abstract: A small-size and low-cost microcomputer using an Intel 8080 micro-processer is employed to provide real-time data collection and reduction of a three-channel electronic-readout thrombelastograph (TEG). Computed values of significant clotting parameters are obtained instantly allowing for rapid analysis and monitoring of many patients. Computer hardware was designed to optimize signal sampling rates, processing time and storage.
