VIDAS® D-DIMER EXCLUSION™ II

The power to exclude deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

  • FDA-cleared for exclusion of DVT and PE
  • Rapid, automated ELISA
  • >99% NPV in more than 50 peer-reviewed studies including >11,000 patients

VIDAS D-DIMER EXCLUSION II Overview

Your laboratory serves a crucial role by providing the ED with the information it needs to make accurate, fast, and safe diagnosis of patients with possible symptoms of PE or DVT. VIDAS D-DIMER EXCLUSION II provides confident exclusion of PE or DVT with a single test.  With an exclusion strategy, ED physicians rely on D-dimer tests to rule out PE and DVT.

When used in conjunction with a clinical Pre-Test Probability model (PTP), VIDAS D-DIMER EXCLUSION II allows physicians to exclude deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) when a negative result is obtained.  Because VIDAS D-DIMER EXCLUSION II is FDA-cleared for exclusion, no further tests are needed if the results are negative.  VIDAS D-DIMER EXCLUSION II provides >99% NPV for all patients, even patients who have been determined to be at a medium risk for pulmonary embolism.
