ReFacto AF® is appropriate for use in adults and children of all ages, including newborns. ReFacto AF® does not contain von Willebrand factor, and hence is not indicated in von Willebrand's disease.1

In one study, when patients considered their experience with the ReFacto AF® FuseNGo device, significant increases in the proportion of positive responses were seen for all four questions regarding ease of use compared with the current treatment.2
Adapted from Di Minno G et al. Patient Preference and Adherence 2019:13 233–240.2
Easy to use
More patients found ease of preparation, storage, disposal of needles and syringes, and use of treatment to be convenient with the ReFacto AF® FuseNGo device compared with their current treatment.2
Similar results were found in the survey of ease of reconstitution of factor VIII product, where ReFacto AF® FuseNGo device scored the same or higher than other devices for:3
- Ease of preparing clotting factor
- Ease of handling the device
- Ease of disposal of syringes and needles
- Ease of pushing down the syringe plunger
- Ease of storage
The improvements from current treatment were significant (P<0.01 Wilcoxon signed ranks test) for all questions.
Adapted from Di Minno G et al. Patient Preference and Adherence 2019:13 233–240.2
Convenient
At baseline, the mean time to reconstitution of factor VIII product was 11 minutes. At follow-up, the reconstitution time was reduced to 6 minutes when patients were using the ReFacto AF® FuseNGo device.2 |
Rapid reconstitution and administration
Positive responses to questions about effectiveness, convenience and overall satisfaction of the ReFacto AF® FuseNGo device approached or exceeded 90% in all cases.2 |
|
98.8% of patients responded positively to both questions about overall satisfaction with the treatment delivery system.2 |
High levels of patient satisfaction
Patients receiving prophylactic factor VIII self-reported a treatment adherence >70% with ReFacto AF® FuseNGo.2§ |
High levels of treatment adherence
† An Italian study administered five questionnaires to patients with haemophilia A (from 21 centres; N=84 completed the study), including the specifically developed HemoPREF questionnaire for patient-related outcomes. Questionnaires were administered at baseline (when patients were using their current treatment) and at a final visit 3–6 months after the baseline visit, and after patients had experience of the ReFacto® FuseNGo delivery device.2
‡ A cross-sectional survey conducted across 5 European countries (N=299) compared the ReFacto® FuseNGo device with four other methods of reconstituting factor VIII product.3 This survey looked at reconstitution and did not involve administration of the product.
§ Patients who reported “always” or “often” adhering to treatment.
