INTENDED USE
The K-ASSAY ®   D-Dimer Assay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for the quantitative determination of cross-linked fibrin degradation products containing D-Dimer in human plasma or serum by immunoturbidimetric assay.
FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE.

REAGENT PREPARATION
The reagents are ready to use.  They do not need to be reconstituted.   Mix before using by genty inverting the bottles.  After openining, gently invert Reagent 2 once a week.

STORAGE AND HANDLING
All reagents should be stored refrigerated (2-8°C) and protected from light.  Return all reagents to 2-8°C promptly after use.  Unopened reagents can be used for one year from the date of manufacture, as indicated by the expiration date on the package and bottle labels.  Opened reagents can be used for one month if stored at 2-8°C.
