Product DescriptionIn US and Canada: For Research Use Only. Not for Use in Diagnostic Procedures.
BIOPHEN FVIII Variant is a two-stage chromogenic FVIII:C assay using BOVINE Factor X, making it INSENSITIVE to emicizumab (HemlibraŽ). This is the only chromogenic method that measures true endogenous or infused FVIII:C activity in emicizumab-treated hemophilia A patients. Emicizumab is a bispecific antibody that mimics FVIII by activating human Factor X but it cannot activate bovine Factor X, so this assay reports only true FVIII activity. Essential for: breakthrough bleed management in emicizumab patients, pre-surgical FVIII level assessment, monitoring FVIII replacement therapy given alongside emicizumab, and FVIII inhibitor titer measurement (modified Bethesda). Standard chromogenic FVIII:C assays (A221402/A221406) will report falsely elevated FVIII in emicizumab patients. RUO. Product Characteristics

Product Applications
Chromogenic method for the in vitro quantitative determination of Factor VIII (FVIII) activity, in human citrated plasma or FVIII concentrates, using an automated method.
This method is for the detection of FVIII deficiency states and monitoring of replacement therapy (except Emicizumab) on patients who are suspected of congenital or acquired deficiency and potency estimation of FVIII concentrates. This device of in vitro diagnostic use is intended for professional use in the laboratory.
