Method Description

The factor X inhibitor screen is performed on the Instrumentation Laboratory ACL TOP. The assay consists of measuring the factor X activity (prothrombin time based assay) before and after incubation of a mixture of normal plasma and patient's plasma for 1 hour at 37° C. Interpretation of the presence or absence of the indication of a factor X inhibitor is determined by comparing the factor X activity results and the calculated expected values.(Owen CA Jr, Bowie EJW, Thompson JH Jr. The Diagnosis of Bleeding Disorders. 2nd ed.
