Intended Use
HemosIL CL HIT-IgG(PF4-H) is a qualitative, fully automated, chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) for the detection of IgG antibodies that react with Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) when complexed to heparin. The assay is for use in human 3.2% citrated plasma on the ACL TOP 970 CL in a laboratory setting.
The result provided by the assay should be interpreted as either positive or negative based on the assay cut-off (1.00 U/mL). The positive or negative result aids in determining the risk for heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) when used in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings.
Anti-PF4/Heparin antibodies are commonly found in patients with HIT. For use in adult population suspected of HIT. Not for use in isolation to exclude HIT.
For prescription use only.
Device Description
HemosIL CL HIT-IgG(PF4-H) assay is a chemiluminescent two-step immunoassay consisting of magnetic particles coated with PF4 complexed to polyvinyl sulfonate (PVS) which capture, if present, PF4/H antibodies from the sample. After incubation, magnetic separation, and a wash step, a tracer consisting of an isoluminol-labeled anti-human IgG antibody is added and may bind with the captured PF4/H IgG on the particles. After a second incubation, magnetic separation, and a wash step, reagents that trigger the luminescent reaction are added, and the emitted light is measured as relative light units (RLUs) by the ACL TOP 970 CL optical system. The RLUs are directly proportional to the PF4/H IgG concentration in the sample.
The HemosIL CL HIT-IgG(PF4-H) assay utilizes a 4 Parameter Logistic Curve fit (4PLC) data reduction method to generate a Master Curve. The Master Curve is predefined and lot dependent and it is stored in the instrument through the cartridge barcode. With the measurement of calibrators, the predefined Master Curve is transformed to a new, instrument specific 4PLC Working Curve. The concentration values of the calibrators are included in the reagent kit calibrator value sheet 2D barcode.

The systems provide results for both direct hemostasis measurements and calculated parameters.
Device Description
The ACL TOP Family 50 Series are fully automated coagulation analyzers that utilize the same intuitive software, the same consumables, reagents, calibrators and controls, and provide the same analytical methodology for routine and specialty assay result reporting as the predicate ACL TOP Family.
The ACL TOP Family 50 Series instrument performs the following types of tests, using the same optical measuring wavelengths and test parameters as the predicate ACL TOP Family:
- Coagulometric (Turbidimetric) Measurements
- . Chromogenic (Absorbance) Measurements
- . Immunological Measurements
The ACL TOP Family 50 Series also offers new pre-analytical features not available on the current ACL TOP Family as described below. These features are not intended to replace laboratory quality policies. The features simply alert the instrument operator to a potential HIL (Hemoglobin, Icteric and Lipemia) interference situation specific to the assays requested for a sample, underfilled sample tubes or a detected clog. The user will determine how to handle these situations (for example, by not reporting the results, or reporting the results with, or without, additional comments).

HemosIL Chromogenic Factor IX is an automated assay for the photometric, quantitative determination of factor IX activity in 3.2% citrated plasma on the ACL TOP® Family and ACL TOP Family 50 Series in the laboratory setting by a healthcare professional. HemosIL Chromogenic Factor IX is indicated for use on patients when identifying factor IX deficiency or measuring factor IX activity from patients on replacement therapy. For adult population only. For prescription use only.
Device Description
Factor IX activity in a patient's plasma is determined using a chromogenic method, in which human factor IX is activated by human factor XIa, and, when formed, factor IXa activates human factor X in the presence of human factor VIII, calcium and phospholipid. The amount of factor Xa generated is proportionate to the factor IX activity and is determined from the hydrolysis of a chromogenic factor Xa substrate. Results are determined by comparing a chromogenic signal to a calibration curve.

Key Components:
Instrument: It employs a unique touch-sensitive color screen and a simple set of menus and buttons for user interaction. The analyzer guides operators through the sampling process with simple, clear messages and prompts.
PAK (Cartridge): All required components for sample analysis are contained in the GEM PAK, including sensors, optical cell for CO-Oximetry and total bilirubin, sampler, pump tubing, distribution valve, waste container and Process Control Solutions. The GEM PAK is an entirely closed analytical system. The operator cannot introduce changes to the analytical process before or during the GEM PAK's use-life on board the instrument. The GEM PAK has flexible menus and test volume options to assist facilities in maximizing efficiency. The EEPROM on the GEM PAK includes all solution values and controls the analyte menu and number of tests. The setup of the instrument consists of inserting the GEM PAK into the instrument. The instrument will perform an automated GEM PAK start-up during which the following is performed: warm-up (15 minutes), sensor conditioning (10 minutes), Process Control Solution (PCS) performance (15 minutes), all of which take about 40 minutes. After GEM PAK start-up, Auto PAK Validation (APV) process is automatically completed: two completely independent solutions traceable to NIST standards, CLSI procedures or internal standards, containing two levels of concentration for each analyte (PC Solution D and E), are run by the analyzer to validate the integrity of the PC Solutions and the overall performance of the analytical system. Note: GEM PAKs that include tBili analyte will require the successful performance of CVP 5 tBili. Includes all necessary components for hemolysis detection, such as an acoustofluidic flow cell, an LED light source and an optical detector, for appropriate flagging of potassium measurements in whole blood samples without additional sample volume or sample processing steps.
Intelligent Quality Management (iQM3): iQM3 is used as the quality control and assessment system for the GEM Premier 7000 system. iQM3 is an active quality process control program designed to provide continuous monitoring of the analytical process before, during and after sample measurement with real-time, automatic error detection, automatic correction of the system and automatic documentation of all corrective actions, replacing the use of traditional external QC. iQM3 introduces hemolysis detection in whole blood samples, enhancing quality assessment in the pre-analytical phase of testing.

HemosIL Liquid Anti-Xa is a one stage chromogenic assay based on a synthetic chromogenic substrate and on Factor Xa inactivation. The assay provides quantitative rivaroxaban results on 3.2% citrated human plasma as follows: Rivaroxaban levels in patient plasma are measured automatically on ACL TOP Family and ACL TOP Family 50 Series when this assay is calibrated with HemosIL Rivaroxaban Calibrators. Rivaroxaban directly inhibits Factor Xa activity independent of the antithrombin present. The Factor Xa activity measured by the assay is exogenous. Factor Xa is neutralized directly by rivaroxaban. Residual Factor Xa is quantified with a synthetic chromogenic substrate. The paranitroaniline released is monitored kinetically at 405 nm and is inversely proportional to the rivaroxaban level in the sample.
