    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Rivaroxaban oral anticoagulant does not need laboratory monitoring, but in some situations plasma level measurement is useful. The objective of this paper was to verify analytical performance and compare two rivaroxaban calibrated anti Xa assays/coagulometer systems with specific or other branch calibrators. METHODS: In 59 samples drawn at trough or peak from patients taking rivaroxaban, plasma levels were measured by HemosIL Liquid anti Xa in ACLTOP 300/500, and STA liquid Anti Xa in TCoag Destiny Plus. HemosIL and STA rivaroxaban calibrators and controls were used. CLSI guideline procedures EP15A3 for precision and trueness, EP6 for linearity, and EP9 for methods comparison were used. RESULTS: Coefficient of variation within run and total precision (CVR and CVWL respectively) of plasmatic rivaroxaban were < 4.2 and < 4.85% and BIAS < 7.4 and < 6.5%, for HemosIL-ACL TOP and STA-Destiny systems, respectively. Linearity verification 8 - 525 ng/mL a Deming regression for methods comparison presented R 0.963, 0.968 and 0.982, with a mean CV 13.3% when using different systems and calibrations. CONCLUSIONS: The analytical performance of plasma rivaroxaban was acceptable in both systems, and results from reagent/coagulometer systems are comparable even when calibrating with different branch material.
