The following samples were identied as interfering with the dry pH sensor in the interference study
performed for the OPTI LION 510(k) submission.
Interferent Test Level Change
Sodium Bisulphate 11.5mM -0.16
Phenylacetic Acid 10.0mM -0.12
Methylene Blue 25mg/dL Unstable
Fluorescein 25mg/dL Unstable
Reproducibility
Controls
Within-run precision (S
wr
) and Total Precision (S
T
), were determined from 2 runs per day with 2
replicates per run over a period of 20 days following the CLSI guideline EP5-A2. Typical results for 3
different control levels are shown below:
Dry pH OPTI Check Level 1 OPTI Check Level 2 OPTI Check Level 3

Whole Blood
Within-run precision in whole blood samples was evaluated at 3 different concentrations on the OPTI
CCA-TS2. The table below shows the Averages, Standard Deviations and % CV calculated from 10
samples for each level.
