Journal Article
Analytical and Clinical Validation of a Non-Ristocetin Based VWF Assay on 2 Automated Analyzers in a Large Reference Laboratory
2024
Overview
Abstract
Background
Historically, von Willebrand factor (VWF) activity assays utilized ristocetin despite limitations including poor limits of detection and high imprecision. Newer VWF activity assays such as the INNOVANCE® VWF Ac assay, however, do not rely on ristocetin to measure platelet-dependent VWF function. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the analytical and clinical performance of the Siemens Healthineers INNOVANCE VWF Ac Assay on the Siemens BCS® XP and the Sysmex® CS-2500 systems in a large reference laboratory setting.
Methods
Performance indicators for the INNOVANCE VWF Ac assay were the limit of quantitation (LoQ), precision, and method comparison. Method comparison studies were performed using remnant plasma patient samples from routine coagulation tests and analyzed using both the INNOVANCE VWF Ac assay and the Siemens Healthineers ristocetin-dependent BC von Willebrand Reagent.
Results
Evaluation of the INNOVANCE VWF Ac assay on the BCS® XP and CS-2500 systems demonstrated good precision and a lower LoQ compared to the BC von Willebrand Reagent. Method comparisons support the use of the INNOVANCE VWF Ac assay on the BCS® XP and CS-2500 systems to measure platelet-dependent VWF function. The INNOVANCE VWF Ac assay was able to further assist in von Willebrand disease classification in 6/7 (86%) samples when the result was below the LoQ for the BC von Willebrand Reagent (ristocetin cofactor activity).
Conclusions
These data are consistent with the 2021 American Society of Hematology/International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis/National Hemophilia Foundation/World Federation of Hemophilia von Willebrand disease guidelines that suggest using newer assays such as the INNOVANCE VWF Ac assay in place of ristocetin cofactor activity assays.
