LEXINGTON, Mass., June 25 -- Instrumentation Laboratory (IL) today announced that it has received FDA clearance 510(k) for the ACL TOP software V3.0.0. This clearance allows IL to market the ACL TOP 500 CTS Hemostasis Testing System in the United States as a member of the ACL TOP Family of analyzers.
Featuring the same advanced technology as the other members of the ACL TOP Family, including the highly successful ACL TOP and ACL TOP CTS systems, the ACL TOP 500 CTS is designed to meet the testing needs of the mid-to-high volume hemostasis laboratories.

All three analyzers provide the same accurate results, use the same reagents and consumables, feature the same broad test menu and usability, and share the same intuitive software.

"The ACL TOP 500 CTS was introduced very successfully in Europe several months ago and customers have been extremely satisfied. We are looking forward to sharing our new analyzer with customers in the US."
