The D-Dimer Rapid Test Cassette (whole blood/plasma/serum) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of D-Dimer to aid in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis(DVT), pulmonary embolism(PE) and disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC)
D-dimer is a biomarker that globally indicates the activation of hemostasis and fibrinolysis. It is a degradation product of fibrin, which is produced when cross-linked fibrin is degraded by plasmin-induced fibrinolytic activity. Fibrin D-dimer, a marker of on-going fibrin formation and degradation, is the most commonly used clinical assay for the detection of activation of the coagulation system. As D-dimer plasma levels are elevated after clot formation, the measurement of D-dimer is routinely used in conjunction with clinical parameters in the initial assessment of suspected acute VTE. Elevated D-dimer levels measurement provides prognostic indications for a variety of conditions, including venous thromboembolism, disseminated intravascular coagulation, cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, and cancer. The D-Dimer Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a rapid test to qualitatively detect the presence of D-Dimer in whole blood, serum or plasma specimen. The test utilizes monoclonal antibodies to selectively detect elevated levels of D-Dimer in whole blood, serum or plasma. The minimum detection level is 500 ng/mL
