Description

VIDAS D-Dimer Exclusion II, an automated quantitative test for use on instruments of the VIDAS family for the immunoenzymatic determination of fibrin degradation products in human plasma using the Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay technique. Also indicated for use in conjunction with clinical pretest probability assessment model to exclude DVT and PE disease.

Reason

Customer complaints about not repeatable results below the detection limit (<45 ng/mL). Therefore false negatives are being reported for results around the medical decision point of 500 ng/mL that initially tested at <45 ng/mL.
