Potassium (K) & Ionized Calcium (iCa) in Capillary Whole Blood
Conditions
Brief summary
Method comparison study for Potassium (K) and ionized calcium (iCa).
Detailed description
The objective of this study is to compare the performance of the K and iCa Tests using the IUO i-STAT CG8+ Cartridge on the i-STAT 1 Analyzer to the performance of the K and iCa Tests on the comparator device using capillary whole blood specimens. This objective will be assessed as part of a Method Comparison evaluation.
Interventions
Capillary blood specimen collected from two separate fingersticks.
