For Detection of Platelet Dysfunction

The PFA-100 System measures the complex process of primary hemostasis and aids in the rapid detection of platelet dysfunction. It is the first commercially available in vitro testing system that incorporates high-shear flow to provide a realistic hemodynamic environment to initiate and monitor primary hemostasis. PFA-100 Test Cartridges Collagen/Epinephrine (Col/EPI) primary screening cartridge. Collagen/ADP (Col/ADP) differentiates major platelet dysfunction from Aspirin-related dysfunction. The self-contained, disposable cartridges include all functional elements required for testing, while assuring consistency within each lot, as well as limiting test variability.

Clinical Applications Helps to detect inherited, acquired and drug-induced platelet dysfunction Detects von Willebrand disease Assesses the anti-platelet effect of Aspirin Evaluates platelet dysfunction in children Evaluates platelet dysfunction in multiple clinical settings such as high-bleeding-risk surgery, high-risk pregnancy and menorrhagia
