INTENDED USE
For the quantitative determination of fibrinogen levels in disseminated intravascular coagulation (non-localized clotting within the blood vessels) and primary fibrinolysis (the dissolution of fibrinogen in a blood clot.
FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE.

REAGENT PREPARATION
R1 and R2 are ready to use and do not require reconstitution.
The calibrator is lyophilized and requires reconstition and preparation of dilutions according the the package insert instructions.

STORAGE AND HANDLING
All reagents should be stored refrigerated (2-8°C).  Return all reagents to 2-8°C promptly after use.  Unopened reagents can be used for one year from the date of manufacture, as indicated by the expiration date on the package and bottle labels.  Opened R1 and R2 can be used for one month if stored at 2-8°C.  Reconstituted fibrinogen calibrator and the diluted calibrator solutions can be used for 1 week if stored at 2-8°C.

Max = 152 Max = 456 Max = 763
C.V. = 2.96% C.V. = 1.48% C.V. = 1.43%

Precision - Between Runs
Sample I Sample II Sample III
N = 10 N = 10 N = 10

Min = 165 Min = 316 Min = 544
Max = 170 Max = 329 Max = 571
C.V. = 0.94% C.V. = 1.06% C.V. = 1.50%

Accuracy / Correlation
A comparison of the K-ASSAY ®   Fibrinogen test and an Incstar Fibrinogen Test Kit was performed using a Hitachi 717.  The test results provided the following data:

y = 0.967x + 33.91
r = 0.995
n = 50
x = Incstar Fibrinogen Test Kit
y = K-ASSAY ®   Fibrinogen

Additional correlation studies on assays using the Clauss method (clotting method) are available.
