Conclusion
The BCL Clinicon Chemcode system is easy to use and provides acceptable precision for blood analysis, except for urea using an enzymic-UV method.
Supporting Evidence
- The system was evaluated for its ability to measure various blood components.
- Overall, there was good correlation with methods in routine use.
- The instrument proved to be easy to use and gave no trouble.
Takeaway
This study tested a new blood testing machine and found it works well for most tests, but not for one specific test.
Methodology
The system was evaluated for its performance in measuring glucose, urea, and calcium in endpoint mode, and aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase in kinetic mode.
Limitations
Precision was not acceptable for urea using an enzymic-UV method.
