Physician Office/Draw Specimen Preparation
Allow specimen to clot for 30-60 minutes at room temperature (20-26°C or 68-78.8°F). Centrifuge to separate serum from cells immediately after clotting. Transfer serum into plastic transport tube and freeze (-20°C/-4°F or below). Place specimen on DRY ICE prior to transport. Specimens must be received in the Laboratory within 6 hours of collection.
Preparation for Courier Transport
Transport: Serum in plastic transport tube, frozen (-20°C/-4°F or below).
Rejection Criteria
Specimens that are not collected in the special Thrombo-Wellco tubes.
Specimens containing less than 0.5 mL.
In-Lab Processing
Allow specimen to clot for 30-60 minutes at room temperature (20-26°C or 68-78.8°F). Centrifuge to separate serum from cells immediately after clotting. Transfer serum into plastic transport tube and freeze (-20°C/-4°F or below) prior to testing.
Storage
Specimen Stability for Testing:
Room Temperature (20-26°C or 68-78.8°F): 6 hours
Refrigerated (2-8°C or 36-46°F): Unacceptable
Frozen (-20°C/-4°F or below): Serum aliquot must be frozen for transport.
Specimen Storage in Department Prior to Disposal:
Room Temperature (20-26C or 68-78.8F): 7 days
Refrigerated (2-8°C or 36-46°F): 7 days

STAT results available within 30 minutes of receipt in the Laboratory.
Routine results available within 4 hours of receipt in the Laboratory.
Reference Range
Normal Value: Less than 10 mcg/mL.
Test Methodology
Latex Agglutination (Thrombo-Wellco).
Interpretation
- Fibrin split products are elevated in DIC.
- This test is not specific for Fragments D and E but will also react with fibrinogen, FSP (X, Y, D and E) and fibrin monomer.
Clinical Utility
- Fibrin(ogen) split products are formed by digestion of fibrin(ogen) as a result of activation of the fibrinolytic system.
- This test aids in the detection of DIC.
- This test is not to be used for the exclusion of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).
