## Indications for use
Plateletworks is an in vitro diagnostic screening assay for the determination of platelet aggregation in fresh whole blood samples taken during cardiac interventional procedures as measured by a change in platelet count due to activation of functional platelets. It may be used at the point-of-care on the Ichor hematology analyzer as a screening tool for the detection of trends suggestive of platelet dysfunction. Any abnormal baseline or otherwise suspicious result would require repeating the Plateletworks test procedure and/or further additional investigation with more definitive test methods, including conventional platelet aggregometry.
