We have been receiving questions regarding Afstyla and whether WAPPS-Hemo already multiplies the resultant measurements by a factor of 2 if a one-stage clotting assay was used. Conversely, the scientific community recommends the use of chromogenic assays or to “calibrate” the clotting assays with a specific standard.
For data entry into WAPPS-Hemo, we do not specifically recommend to multiplying the results by 2, but we accept such converted values. We do not do the multiplication in the backend of WAPPS-Hemo.
