May facilitate standardized QC for PFA-100/200; leaves open validation in routine clinical labs.
Novel external quality assessment and internal quality control processes using formulated platelet function antagonist materials provide a highly reproducible mechanism for monitoring laboratory performance of PFA-100/PFA-200 instruments.
Favaloro et al. (2014) studied Platelet function testing. Formulated platelet function antagonist materials was evaluated on Coefficients of variation (CVs) for closure times. Formulated platelet function antagonist materials for EQA and IQC of PFA-100/PFA-200 instruments demonstrated good reproducibility, with coefficients of variation generally ranging from 15 to 25%.
