Popis: Introduction: Fully-automated coagulation analyzers are key components of a high-throughput central laboratory. The novel Atellica COAG 360 (Siemens Healthineers) is a high-volume coagulation analyzer approved for hemostasis diagnostics. The aim of the study was to evaluate the analytical performance of this coagulation analyzer in a central laboratory. Methods: Intra (n=10)- and inter (n=20)-assay precision of the Atellica COAG 360 was determined using commercially available control samples. Patient samples (n=74-104) were used for comparison analyses with the Sysmex CS-5100 (Siemens Healthineers). Effects of visual interferences on coagulation testing were assessed and the sample throughput rate of the Atellica COAG 360 was determined. Results: Intra- and inter-assay precision of the Atellica COAG 360 showed coefficient of variations (CVs)
