Medtronic HMS Plus and Hepline Kit

Is anyone using the Hepline kit for linearity studies? I know they are not required, but we are utilizing for some initial validations. I used the kit on ACT-HR and it looks great. However, for HPT testing, it doesn't create a linear line. I used the kit with Red, Tan, Silver, Blue and Green cartridges. Results were 33, 32,,32, 32, and 41 seconds. This is expected as the concentration of the heparin in the tube would coincide with the color cartridge appropriate for that level. Trying to understand if others are using this kit and how for HPT testing. Any insight would be great!

If you look at your results again, it should tell you which channel the clot was detected in. That channel will correspond with a heparin concentration, which should match the hepline kit.
