VerifyNow IIb/IIIa Assay Kit; 25 devices

The VerifyNow IIb/IIIa Assay is a semi-quantitative, whole blood platelet function assay used to measure glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor blockade in patients treated with abciximab or eptifibatide. VerifyNow IIb/IIIa Assay results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data available to the clinician.

The VerifyNow IIb/IIIa Assay is designed to assess platelet function based upon the ability of activated platelets to bind f ibrinogen. Fibrinogen-coated microparticles aggregate in whole blood in proportion to the number of unblocked platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptors. The rate of microbead aggregation is more rapid and reproducible if platelets are activated; therefore the reagent iso-TRAP is incorporated into the assay to induce platelet activation without fibrin formation. Light transmittance increases as activated platelets bind and aggregate fibrinogen-coated beads. The instrument measures this change in optical signal and reports results in Platelet Aggregation Units (PAU).
