Factor VII Inhibitor Screen, Plasma
Method Description 
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The factor VII inhibitor screen is performed on the Instrumentation Laboratory ACL TOP. The assay consists of measuring the factor VII activity (prothrombin time based assay) before and after incubation of a mixture of normal plasma and patient's plasma for 1 hour at 37 degrees C. Interpretation of the presence or absence of the indication of a factor VII inhibitor is determined by comparing the factor VII activity results and the calculated expected values.(Owen CA Jr, Bowie EJW, Thompson JH Jr: Diagnosis of Bleeding Disorders.

Day(s) Performed Outlines the days the test is performed.
