*The usual warning relating to the use of regression analysis is summarized here as a reminder: For any analyte, “if the data is collected over a narrow
range, the estimate of the regression parameters are relatively imprecise and may be biased. Therefore, predictions made from these estimates
may be invalid”.

The correlation coefficient, r, can be used as a guide to assess the adequacy of the comparative method range in overcoming this
problem. As a guide, the range of data can be considered adequate if r>0.975.

Cartridge Comparison
The performance characteristics of the sensors are equivalent in all cartridge configurations. System
difference analysis was performed on 39 patient samples using the i-STAT CHEM8+ and i-STAT Crea
cartridges. In the 0.42-2.50 mg/dL range, the average difference was -0.01. In the 2.50-9.08 mg/dL
range, the average difference was -0.04.
