Siemens Dade PFA Collagen/ EPI and Dade PFA Collagen/ ADP Test Cartridges

Dade PFA Collagen/ EPI Test Cartridge and Dade PFA Collagen/ ADP Test Cartridge are in vitro diagnostic reagents for the quantitative determination of the collagen/epinephrine- and collagen/ADP-induced PFA closure times. The assays can be used as aid to diagnosis and follow up of congenital, acquired or therapy induced defects of primary hemostasis, including von Willebrand factor (vWF) dependent deficiencies, in patients at risk for or suspected of impaired primary hemostasis. The assays are performed using human sodium citrated whole blood by means of an automated, platelet adhesion and aggregation method under flow conditions.
