The CA-660 is a compact, fully automated haemostasis analyser. It combines proven and successful characteristics – such as the optical detection technology and the reagent system of its predecessors – with new features. In addition to routine testing, it also offers specialty haemostasis testing such as D-dimer and von Willebrand Factor activity. It therefore provides a complete patient profile.

It serves as a great primary analyser for low-volume haemostasis laboratories. Or as a powerful backup instrument in larger labs. The CA-660 has been designed in line with our advanced Silent Design concept, is of solid construction, hard-wearing and robust. And with its reliable performance, it will support you day in, day out, for years to come.
