Light transmission aggregometry for platelet function testing: position paper on current recommendations and French proposals for accreditation

Résumé

Light transmission aggregometry (LTA) is a method used to investigate platelet functions in platelet-rich plasma (PRP), notably when screening for platelet disorders. Various national guidelines and recommendations help in setting up the LTA test in specialized laboratories. However, due to the nature of the sample matrix and its subsequent specificities, more accurate positions are needed to achieve LTA accreditation according to the standard NF EN ISO 15 189. We reviewed guidelines and recommendations as they can be useful in the accreditation process, and we conducted a survey on LTA practice among members of the Société Française de Thrombose et d’Hémostase (SFTH) in 2021. We formulated 28 proposals, which have been approved by vote within the SFTH. All aspects to take into consideration for the proper conduct of LTA assays and their accreditation have been covered. Notably, preanalytical, analytical and postanalytical aspects are depicted, including blood sampling, PRP preparation, instruments, agonists, performance assessment, personnel training and data interpretation. This document, essentially representing a French position paper on the current recommendations and subsequent proposals for LTA accreditation, might prove useful also outside France for relevant laboratories and auditors involved in LTA accreditation.
