Device Description: INTENDED USEAn enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitative determinatio INTENDED USEAn enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitative determination of Total and Free Protein S Antigen in citrated human plasma. For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF THE PROTEIN S TESTProtein S is a vitamin K-dependent protein synthesized in the liver, vascular endothelium, and megakaryocytes, which plays an important physiologic role in the Protein C Anticoagulant System. This anticoagulant system is one of the major regulators of hemostasis by inhibiting clot formation and by promoting fibrinolysis. Protein S functions as a cofactor for activated Protein C on the vascular membrane to facilitate the degradation of clotting factors Va and VIIIa, downregulating clot formation. In normal plasma approximately 40% of Protein S circulates as a free molecule, while 60% is complexed with C4b, a plasma protein of the classical complement pathway. Only Free Protein S is functionally active and able to bind to activated Protein C, while the complexed form of Protein S is not.Protein S deficiency, either congenital or acquired, may lead to serious thrombotic events such as thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism. The prevalence of Protein S deficiency has been estimated to be less than 1 case per 300 in the general population. Two-thirds of patients with a congenital deficiency of Protein S (levels less than 50% of normal) may present with venous thrombosis in young adulthood. In young patients (<35 years) with a history of thrombosis, the prevalence may be as high as 15 to 18%.7 Acquired Protein S deficiency may be seen during pregnancy, oral contraceptive or oral anticoagulant therapy, liver disease, diabetes mellitus, postoperative complications, septicemia and various inflammatory syndromes.8 A decreased Protein S activity in plasma may be the result of low concentrations or abnormal function of the Protein S molecule.Refer to Product Package Insert.
