New Blood Coagulation Items

In terms of the domestic IVD markets of hemostasis and thrombosis, the special testing items are gradually promoted and popularized in domestic medical institutions. The Grade III hospitals are carrying out test items selectively according to their professional needs. In order to understand the current implementation of new blood coagulation items, a survey is conducted in large Grade III Level A hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Sichuan, Tianjin, etc., which involves the items such as vWF, anti-Xa, LA, PC, PS, fPS, etc. The survey mainly involves these items, the sample size, and the testing dosage forms, etc. in each hospital. The items are shown in Table 6.

Table 6 Implementation of new items

According to the project survey results, the Sysmex and Werfen blood coagulation analyzers are mainly utilized in the hospitals, which are used together with their original reagents. For the surveyed project, the testing of von Willebrand factor has been carried out in all hospitals, and other test items are carried out in most hospitals. Since the target populations are different in the survey Grade III Level A hospitals, the test items are different; in addition, it also indicates that some test items of coagulation are not popularized in large hospitals, let alone in Grade II and below hospitals. In the future, they should be popularized clinically to further promote the development of the blood coagulation industry.
