MAGLUMI D-dimer（CLIA）

1. INTENDED USE
The kit has been designed for the quantitative determination of D-dimer in
human serum or plasma.
130206008M 100 The method can be used for samples over the range of 0-10 μg/ml.
The test has to be performed on the Maglumi fully auto analyzer (Including
Maglumi 1000, Maglumi 2000, Maglumi 2000 plus).

2. SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF THE TEST

D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product (or FDP), a small protein fragment
present in the blood after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis. It is so

therefore, is to exclude thromboembolic disease where the probability is low.
In addition, it is used in the diagnosis of the blood disorder disseminated

D-dimers are not normally present in human blood plasma, except when the
coagulation system has been activated, for instance because of the presence
