Indications for Use
The DIMERTEST® latex kit is intended for the rapid qualitative or semi-quantitative evaluation of circulating derivatives of cross-linked fibrin degradation products (D-dimer) in human plasma.
Device Story
DIMERTEST® latex kit; qualitative/semi-quantitative evaluation of D-dimer in human plasma; utilizes latex beads coupled with murine anti-D-Dimer monoclonal antibody; includes positive/negative controls, buffer, test cards, and stirrers; used in clinical laboratory settings; provides visual assessment of fibrin degradation products to aid in clinical evaluation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; submission is for transfer of ownership of a previously cleared device (K974596).
Technological Characteristics
Latex immuno-assay; latex beads coupled with murine anti-D-Dimer monoclonal antibody; qualitative/semi-quantitative visual test card format.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the rapid qualitative or semi-quantitative evaluation of circulating D-dimer in human plasma to assess fibrin degradation products.
