Term Description
Integrilin Eptifibatide (trade name Integrilin
inhibitor mainly used during and after coronary artery procedures
like angioplasty to prevent thrombus (blood clot) formation within
the coronary artery. Its mechanism of action is inhibition of the
glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex.
iso-TRAP Thrombin receptor activating peptide (iso-TRAP), a synthetic
peptide, serves as a surrogate for thrombin and activates the
platelet through the PAR-1 receptor in the P2Y12 (base result)
and IIb/IIIa assays.
Keypad The keypad contains 13 labeled keys located directly below the
display screen. The "0" through "9" keys are used to enter
operator and patient identification numbers, change the time and
the date, and make selections from menu options.
Level 1 Wet quality control Level 1 is formulated at a clinically relevant
level and is representative of a sample with platelet inhibition.
During Level 1 WQC, diluent is used to verify continued
performance by checking that actual results are within a standard
range. See also wet quality control.
Level 2 WQC Level 2 is formulated at a clinically relevant level, and is
representative of a sample with no platelet inhibition. During Level
2 WQC, a pink pellet is added to the diluent to verify continued
performance, by checking that actual results are within a standard
range. See also wet quality control.
Log A running record of activity by the instrument. There are separate
logs organized by patient results, QC results, and error events.
Mask The optical element parameter reported during electronic quality
control diagnostics. See electronic quality control.
Mode The instrument supports two modes, depending on whether the
instrument is running an assay or QC test.
Operator A feature that assigns a number and matching password number
identification to each operator. When enabled, identification is required to use
the instrument.
P1 The maximum pressure level parameter reported during electronic
quality control diagnostics. See electronic quality control.
