The authors used the Simplate test (Organon Teknika) to examine the bleeding time from an incision in 15 healthy blood donors and found normal values of 3.45 +/- 0.90 min. The authors proved a close correlation between the improvement of the number of platelets in 10 patients with thrombocytopenia, treated with thrombocyte infusions and the improvement of the bleeding time when using the Simplate R test after one hour and after 24 hours following thrombocyte administration. Examination of the bleeding time by means of the Simplate R test (Organon Teknika) was well tolerated by the authors' patients and the test does not produce any side-effects.
