Method Comparison with Human Whole Blood Samples
For testing syringe and capillary modes, blood was collected in heparinized vacuum tubes.
It was tonometered at 37°C and/or adjusted chemically. Several levels of tHb were
prepared by separating the red cells from the plasma and recombining appropriately.
Specimens were assayed on Rapidlab
1265 and Rapidlab 865 systems.
Method comparison was quantified by obtaining estimates of proportional (slope), and
constant (intercept) bias, root mean square error (RMSE), and method correlation (R
square for r
2
coefficient of determination) by performing an ordinary least squares
analysis of the Rapidlab
1265 (dependent variable) versus the Rapidlab 865 (independent
variable). Results are summarized in the table below.
