Definitions
Accuracy
Closeness of agreement between a test result and the accepted reference value (ISO 5725-1)
Repeatability
Precision under conditions where independent test results are obtained with the same method on identical test items
in the same laboratory by the same operator using the same equipment within short intervals of time (ISO5725-1:1994)

: (tested at a minimum of 30% relative humidity and 20 °Cto25 °C environmental conditions.)
For single lot of salt solutions, Standard deviation shall be:
• ≤ 2 mOsm/kg H₂O between 0 and 400 mOsm
• Coecient of Variance ≤ 0.5% greater than 400 to 1500 mOsm/kg H₂O.
• Coecient of Variance ≤ 0.75% greater than 1500 mOsm/kg H₂O.
For a single lot of Protinol controls, standard deviation shall be ≤ 3 mOsm/kgH₂O.
Accuracy (against AI nominal value, tested at a minimum of 30% relative humidity and 20 °Cto25 °C environmental
conditions)
≥ 95% of the individual replicate values of salt solutions shall be ± 1.0% (two (2) times the % Coecient of Variation)
from nominal values between 400 and 1500 mOsm/kg H₂O.
≥ 95% of the individual replicate values of salt solutions shall be ± 1.5% (two (2) times the % Coecient of Variation)
from nominal values greater than 1500 mOsm/kg H₂O.
Mean value of salt solutions shall be ± 0.5% from nominal values between 400 and 1500 mOsm/kg H₂O.
Mean value of salt solutions shall be ± 0.75% from nominal values greater than 1500 mOsm/kg H₂O.
Accuracy with clinical samples (serum, plasma, and urine samples tested at a minimum of 30% relative humidity and
20 °Cto25 °C environmental conditions versus a previously validated Advanced Instruments clinical osmometer)
Passing-Bablok regression analysis results shall be slope 1.0 ± 0.05 (5% allowable proportional bias) and
intercept 0.0 ± 6mOsm (6mOsm allowable constant bias).
