EVALUATION OF THE APTT (ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME) INDEX IN FREEZE-DRIED PLASMA APPLICATION FOR EXTERNAL PROGRAM FOR COAGULATION CONTROL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Research to evaluate the uniformity and stability of the aPTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) index in freeze-dried plasma applied to the coagulation external control program according to ISO 13528:20151 and ISO guide 352 standards. Methods: Experimental research. Fresh frozen plasma provided by Ho Chi Minh City Blood Transfusion Hematology Hospital was screened negative for HBV, HCV, HIV, malaria, and syphilis. One-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the homogeneity and stability of freeze-dried plasma over different time points and temperatures using the t-test. Results: Lyophilized plasma containing the aPTT index achieved uniformity that met the proficiency testing program with p > 0.05. Lyophilized plasma containing aPTT index is stable when stored at temperatures of 2-80C and -200C for up to 3 months and is stable for transportation for a maximum of 7 days. Conclusion: Lyophilized plasma containing the aPTT index achieved uniformity that met the proficiency testing program with p > 0.05. Lyophilized plasma containing the APTT index is stable when stored at temperatures of 2-80C and -200C for up to 3 months and is stable for transportation for up to 7 days according to the criteria of ISO 13528:2015 and ISO guide 35 responses to the external audit program
