Interpretive Data



Compliance Category

Modified FDA

Note

If PTT-LA Ratio and dRVVT Screen Ratio are normal, then no further testing is performed. If either the PTT-LA Ratio or dRVVT Screen Ratio are elevated, then Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is added. If PTT-LA Ratio is elevated, then Thrombin Time is also added. If Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is Present and Thrombin Time is elevated, then Hepzyme treatment is added. If PTT-LA Ratio is Normal and Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is Present, or Thrombin Time is Abnormal and Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is Not Present, or Thrombin Time is Normal and Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is Present, then DOAC-Stop treatment is added. If either Hepzyme or DOAC-Stop treatment is added, then Neutralized PTT-LA Ratio and/or Neutralized dRVVT Screen Ratio are added. If dRVVT Screen Ratio is elevated in the absence of Hepzyme or DOAC-Stop, or if Neutralized dRVVT Screen Ratio is elevated, then dRVVT 1:1 Mix Ratio and dRVVT Confirmation Ratio are added. If PTT-LA Ratio is elevated in the absence of Hepzyme or DOAC-Stop treatment, or if Neutralized PTT-LA Ratio is elevated, then Hexagonal Phospholipid Confirmation is added. Additional charges apply.
