3.3. Introduction Lorrca® MaxSis
The Lorrca® MaxSis is a new version of the earlier released Lorca (Laser-assisted Optical
Rotational Cell Analyzer). The Lorrca® MaxSis (Lorrca® hereafter) combines Red Blood Cell
(RBC) deformability by ektacytometry, osmoscan and aggregometry; all temperature controlled. It
is capable of fully automated measurement and calculation of various phenomena of RBC’s by
analysis of their rheological behaviour.
3.3.1. Intended use
The Lorrca® MaxSis is intended for the following measurements on human and veterinary blood
samples:
 Red Blood Cell Deformability
 Laser diffraction ektacytometry
 Relaxation rate
 Parametrization of deformation curve
 Cell Stability test
 Cell Membrane Stability
 Red Blood Cell Deformability under various osmotic conditions (Osmoscan)
 Osmotic resistance
 Red Blood Cell Aggregation
 Cell aggregation (kinetics, tendency)
Syllectometry (back-scatter)Disclaimers:
Until otherwise labelled, the Lorrca® MaxSis is NOT released by the manufacturer as an in-vitro
diagnostic medical device (IVD).
Until otherwise published, the Lorrca® MaxSis is NOT validated by the manufacturer for any diagnostic or
therapeutic purposes.
The manufacturer does not accept liability for any consequences arising from the use of the Lorrca®
MaxSis for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
Note:
The manufacturer encourages researches who have developed or investigated any possible
