The Abbott Aeroset® Phenobarbital Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay intended for use in the quantitative analysis of phenobarbital in human serum or plasma on the Abbott Aeroset® analyzer (K980367). Monitoring serum phenobarbital concentrations, along with careful clinical assessment, is the most effective means of improving seizure control, reducing the risk of toxicity, and minimizing the need for additional anticonvulsant medication for the following reasons (1-3):

» Serum phenobarbital concentrations correlate better with concentration in the brain than does dosage once steady state is reached.

« Patients taking the same dosage of phenobarbital show considerable variation in serum phenobarbital concentrations because of individual differences in absorption, metabolism, disease states, and compliance. Serum level monitoring helps physicians individualize dosage regimens.

Methods historically used to monitor serum phenobarbital concentrations are gas-liquid chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, radlmmmunoassay, and immunoassay (1,2).
