The PFA-100 analyzer is now manufactured through Siemens after they acquired the technology from DADE. There appears to have been no change in the instrument since this development. The units for sale were made under DATE BEHRING branding. All have been texted and go through their paces as it appears they should and as required by their internal software self testing process. All keyed operations appear to work, the displays are clear and the sample drawer and carrousel move on command The printers work and a new roll of paper will be included with each unit. Each unit comes with an inspection warranty which allows the buyer to have it independently inspected and confirmed to be operational.
According to the current manufacturer:
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.
The PFA-100 System provides automated assessment for inherited, acquired, or drug-induced platelet dysfunction.
Helps detect inherited, acquired and drug-induced platelet dysfunction
Screening test for patients with impaired primary hemostasis, such as von Willebrand disease1
Verifies efficacy of desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) therapy in pre-surgical patients2
