FerriSmart® Product Specifications

Sensitivity and Specificity

The FerriSmart analysis has high sensitivity and specificity for predicting FerriScan LIC results over the entire LIC range encountered in clinical practice.

LIC Threshold1 Clinical Relevance2 Sensitivity % Specificity %
3.0 Threshold below which deferasirox treatment for non-transfusion dependent thalassemia (NTDT) patients should be interrupted (FDA 2013). 96%
(94-87)
95%
(92-98)
3.2 Suggested lower limit of optimal range for LICs for chelation therapy in transfusional Fe overload (Olivieri and Brittenham 1997). 94%
(92-96)
95%
(92-98)
5.0 Threshold above which iron chelation with deferasirox can be considered for patients with NTDT (FDA 2013). 91%
(89-94)
97%
(95-99)
7.0 Suggested upper limit of optimal range for LICs for transfusional Fe overload and threshold for increased risk of iron-induced complications (Olivieri and Brittenham 1997). Threshold above which deferasirox dose should be increased (to a maximum of 20 mg/kg/day) above the starting dose of 10 mg/kg /day in patients with NTDT (FDA 2013). 92%
(90-95)
97%
(95 - 98)
15 Threshold for greatly increased risk for cardiac disease and early death in patients with transfusional iron overload (Olivieri and Brittenham 1997). Baseline LIC above which increase of deferasirox dose to 20 mg/kg/day should be considered after first 4 weeks of therapy for NTDT patients (FDA 2013). 89%
(85 - 93)
98%
