2 Hemostasis Lab Challenges Preanalytical problems in Haemostasis Patient ID Collecting blood needle, catheters, discard tube, order of draw Anticoagulant, tube composition Sample mixing Sample transport Sample storage Sample processing Sample quality checks - haemolysis, filling Hemolyzed sample sample In most cases errors are directly related to specimen collection! 54 % Others Others Incorrect sample Insufficient sample Source: Lippi et al (2006), Lippi et al (2008) Page 2 Restricted Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016

6 Preanalytical Sample Integrity (PSI) Checks Page 6 Restricted Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016

7 HIL - What level of haemolysis is routinely encountered? 59 consecutive haemolysed samples rejected for visible haemolysis* n Low Hb concentration are more frequent , Plasma Hb g/l *Example from systems validations in the UK (Sheffield Teaching Hospitals ) Page 7 Restricted Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016

8 Diference H/lsed - clear APTT (sec) HIL - Effect of Haemolysis Is the effect greater at higher levels of haemolysis? Patient samples APTT -20,0 1,0 2,0 3,0 4,0 5,0 6,0 7,0 8,0 9,0 10,0 Plasma Hb (g/l) Slight hemolysis have an higher impact? Page 8 Restricted Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016

9 APPT Tests Hemostasis Lab Challenges Preanalytical Risks to Diagnostic Accuracy Increasing levels of hemolysis are associated with shorter APTT results 1 Such a shift can cause abnormal samples to produce normal results Reference interval of APTT Test on STA Compact System: Reference interval of APTT Test on Sysmex CS-2100i System: Controls (CS-2100i) Heparin (CS-2100i) Controls (STA Compact) Heparin (STA Compact) The green and blue lines/symbols describe the effect of increasing levels of hemolysis on control blood samples, while the orange and maroon lines/symbols describe the effect on the same samples spiked with unfractionated heparin (0.15 IU/ml) Data on file, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics 1.

14 Underfilling Tubes Case Report Effect of under filling the tube First sample PT 104 seconds (properly filled 1 ml sample) Second sample (no treatment) PT 14 secs (properly filled 5ml sample)? Artefact? Wrong patient Page 14 Restricted Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016

15 Underfilling Tubes Case Report Effect of under filling the tube Third sample PT 14 seconds First sample - mixed 0.5 ml blood with 0.5ml anticoagulant in a 5 ml tube - this mix was added to a paediatric (1 ml) tube with further 0.1 ml anticoagulant CITRATE excess prolonged PT from 14 sec to 104 seconds Page 15 Restricted Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016

16 APTT Time (s) Underfilling Tubes APTT / CA1500 (Mean of 20 normals) It is admitted that a threshold of 80% filling is the ultimate lower limit. (Ray et al., 1991) % Filled Underfilling of the tube can have a significative impact on APTT time Page 16 Restricted Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016

24 HIL recommandations from recent studies Summary The level of haemoglobin causing >15% changes was different in spiked samples compared to genuine patient samples for some tests. D-Dimer, FXIII and APTT were more tolerant of haemolysis in spiked samples. Taking all data into account the following flag levels were required to ensure 15% change in results (10% for AT, PC) with equivalent plasma Hb in brackets.

25 HIL recommandations from recent studies Summary Level 5 (>300 mg/dl) - PT (Thromborel S), Clauss Fbg, Thrombin Time; Level 4 ( mg/dl) - PT (lnnovin), Protein C; Level 3 ( mg/dl) - Antithrombin Level 1 ( mg/dl) - APTT (Actin FS, Actin FSL), FXIII, D-Dimer.
