The Need

Thrombophilia is defined as an increased risk or tendency to develop blood clots (thrombi) as a consequence of predisposing factors that may be inherited or acquired.^1-3

A thrombus may form in either the venous or arterial vascular system. Venous thrombophilia is usually related to an abnormality of the coagulation system and may result in deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).³

Research shows that venous thromboembolism is a complex pathology that is reliant upon the interaction of both acquired and genetic factors.⁴ The most commonly associated genetic mutations for inherited thrombophilia are mutations in the genes for Factor V Leiden and Factor II (prothrombin).^3-5

The Solution

Xpert® FII & FV is a qualitative genotyping test for the rapid detection of Factor II (FII) and Factor V (FV) alleles. Performed on the Cepheid GeneXpert System, the test is intended to provide rapid results for Factor II c.*97G>A (G20210A) and Factor V Leiden c.1601G>A (G1691A or R506Q) mutations as an aid in the diagnosis of suspected thrombophilia.
Simple

Molecular lab in a cartridge: DNA extraction, amplification and detection in one cartridge
24/7 availability — Run daily, or on-demand, with a simple workflow

Clinically Validated

Proven accuracy: Multi-site study verified over 1,000 patient samples with results comparable to those obtained with bi-directional sequencing⁶

Fast Actionable Results

On-demand: 30-minute FII and FV genotyping
Actionable: Avoid costly ‘send out’ testing, and associated wait for results. Improve patient management with fast test answers on-demand.

Cost-efficient

Avoid expensive ‘send-outs’ to reference labs
Optimized: Cartridge-based testing system removing the risk of non-optimal reagent use associated with batch testing.
Efficient: No requirement for specialized lab personnel or facilities. Just add blood sample to the cartridge and get results in 30 minutes.

Cepheid’s Xpert FII & FV test provides on-demand results you can trust and empowers your clinical team to better manage patients.
