senses motion of the plunger through the test sample. When a decrease in the
plunger's fall rate is detected, the timer stops and the clotting time is displayed.

Actuator Heat Block Assembly

The actuator heat block is the receptacle for test cartridges. The ACT Plus™
software maintains the actuator heat block temperature at 37.0°C ± 0.5°C. The
actuator heat block rotates between the open and closed positions. Cartridges
can be inserted into and removed from the actuator heat block when it is in the
open position. To initiate a clotting test, the operator rotates the actuator heat block
to the closed position. At termination of a test, the actuator heat block will
automatically rotate to the open position, and the results will be displayed. A test
can be terminated manually and the actuator heat block rotated to the open
position by depressing the Stop switch on the front panel.
