The PFA-100™ System measures the complex process of primary hemostasis and aids in the rapid detection of platelet dysfunction. It is the first commercially available in vitro testing system to incorporate high-shear flow in which the process of platelet adhesion and aggregation following a vascular injury is simulated in-vitro.

Aggregation involves platelet-to-platelet adhesion, and is necessary for effective hemostasis following the initial adhesion of platelets to the site of injury, described above in Chapter 3. Following adhesion, platelets are activated by a number of agonists such as adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen present at the sites of vascular injury. These agonists …

 — In this Review, Hwa and colleagues summarize the latest advances in platelet biology and function and appraise the technical and biological challenges in platelet …

 — Human platelets express at least EphA4, EphB1, and ephrinB1. Blockade of Eph/ephrin interactions leads to reversible platelet aggregation and limits the growth of platelet thrombi on collagen-coated surfaces. 14 A second example is the binding of the semaphorin family member, sema4D (CD100), to its receptors. Sema4D is an integral …

Platelet aggregation, not widely available, shows SSRI inhibition of platelet function; we tested whether a platelet function analyzer could detect SSRI inhibition of platelet function. ... (PFA-100), a more accessible instrument. Platelet aggregation studies were performed concomitantly for comparison, assuming that this sensitive method would ...

 — Platelet aggregation is assessed by detecting the increase in electrical impedance generated by the aggregation of other platelets upon those fixed to the electrodes. Hence, by diminishing the current intensity, the electrical impedance increases. ... This instrument methodology could be a consistent system for the diagnosis of …

Platelet aggregation and ATP secretion are clinically significant in the detection and diagnosis of acquired or congenital qualitative platelet defects. The platelet's ability or inability to respond to particular aggregating reagents is the basis for differentiating platelet dysfunctions as shown in the table below.

Use to evaluate patients with suspected platelet dysfunction (inherited or acquired). Test includes ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation (RIPA). RIPA is not an initial test in the diagnosis of von Willebrand disease (VWD) and should be ordered in consultation with a coagulation specialist to distinguish between type 2 subtypes in patients diagnosed with …
