Point of Care aPTT

Hello! We have been asked to look into doing aPTT testing at our outpatient sites, but I am not finding any platform that can accomplish this. Is there one that I haven't found yet? It's fine if I don't find one, they will just have to change their processes but wanted to make sure I cover all my bases!
Thank you!

I think the Hemochron Signature Elite can perform PT and PTT. Moderately complex.
The Hemachron does do PTT testing, either on whole blood or citrated blood. We haven't implemented it, and everything I've heard about it says it is problematic. However, it might be worth it to look into it. Let me know how it goes!
