Thrombophilia is as an increased risk or tendency to develop blood clots (thrombi) in veins, arteries or both due to either inherited or acquired defects.1
The high incidence of venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients is a major cause of sudden death.1
Factor II and V are the two most common genetic variants associated with VTE and testing for these variants is one of the most common referral in clinical genetics laboratories.3

The Solution
The Xpert FII & FV is intended to provide results for Factor II mutation c.*97G>A (formally 20210G>A) and Factor V Leiden c.1601G>A (p.Arg534Gln) as an aid in the diagnosis of suspected thrombophilia.5
The test is a qualitative genotyping test for fast and simultaneous detection of Factor II and Factor V alleles in approximately 30 minutes.5

The Impact
Potential to improve patient management and optimize lab workflow with fast test and accurate results that don’t require specialized lab personnel or facilities.4
Delivers fast answers on the two main factors involved in VTE enabling timely clinical management.1-3
Enables laboratories and clinicians to adhere to professional standards3
