For use in prothrombin time determinations and prothrombin time-based assays.

Dade® Innovin® is a lyophilized preparation of purified recombinant human tissue factor produced in E. coli combined with synthetic phospholipids, calcium and stabilizers. The reagent initiates clotting via the extrinsic common pathway in a global screening test, the prothrombin time (PT). The obtained clotting time detects single or combined deficiencies of the extrinsic coagulation system indicative of hereditary and acquired coagulation disorders, is a sensitive monitoring test for oral anticoagulation therapy and an assay for specific coagulation factors.

To aid in the detection of platelet dysfunction in citrated human whole blood for use in patients with a suspected disorder of primary hemostasis.

The Dade® PFA-100™ system is an instrument and test reagents in which the process of platelet adhesion and aggregation following a vascular injury is simulated in vitro. Platelet dysfunction detected by the PFA-100 system may be acquired, inherited or induced by platelet inhibiting agents. The PFA-100 system allows for rapid evaluation of platelet function on small samples of anticoagulated whole blood. The single use test cartridge reagents consists of a number of integrated parts including a capillary, a sample reservoir and a biologically active membrane with a central aperture. By application of a constant vacuum, anticoagulated whole blood is aspirated from the sample reservoir through the capillary and the aperture under standardized rheological conditions that expose platelets to high shear stress. The membrane is coated with collagen and one additional agonist. At the beginning of a test, Trigger Solution is dispensed to wet the membrane. Similar to the in vivo mechanism, platelets adhere and aggregate at the aperture thereby gradually diminishing and finally arresting the blood flow. The instrument determines the time from the start of the test until the platelet plug occludes the aperture, and reports that time interval as the Closure Time. Platelet plug formation in the PFA-100 system is dependent on adequate platelet activity and adequate von Willebrand factor status. Therefore, the Closure Time is an indicator of the platelet function in the analyzed whole blood sample.
