Multicentre evaluation of a new point-of-care test for the determination of NT-proBNP in whole blood

Background: The Roche CARDIAC proBNP point-of-care (POC) test is the first test intended for the quantitative determination of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in whole blood as an aid in the diagnosis of suspected congestive heart failure, in the monitoring of patients with compensated left-ventricular dysfunction and in the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes.

Methods: A multicentre evaluation was carried out to assess the analytical performance of the POC NT-proBNP test at seven different sites.

Results: The majority of all coefficients of variation (CVs) obtained for within-series imprecision using native blood samples was below 10% for both 52 samples measured ten times and for 674 samples measured in duplicate...

Innotrac Aio!: a point-of-care or a routine analyzer? Analytical performance and plasma/whole blood comparison

Background and methods: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the analytical performance of the Innotrac Aio! analyzer in measuring the cardiac markers troponin I (TnI), myoglobin (Myo) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), both in lithium heparin plasma and in whole blood.

Results: TnI analytical sensitivity was 0.012 ?g/L and the concentration corresponding to CV=10% was 0.036 ?g/L...
