ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method are disclosed for measuring the concentration of fibrinogen that contributes to the clotting of blood. The apparatus utilizes a potentiophotometer that provides an output which is directly indicative of the fibrinogen concentration in the blood sample. The present invention takes into account the prothrombin time which is defined as the time between the injection of a reagent into a sample of the blood being measured and the time of the clotting or coagulation. The present invention relies on the knowledge that a specified minimum amount of fibrinogen needs to be present in the blood sample in order to detect the forming of a clot. After the detection of the specified minimum amount, the invention then relies on monitors for the fibrinogen concentration to decrease to a value which is less than the specified minimum amount.
