Brief summary
This feasibility performance study evaluates the ABL90 FLEX PLUS HEM device for its analytical performance in a clinical setting. The study aims to evaluate the performance of the hemolysis detection feature.
Detailed description
The study is designed to assess the feasibility and performance of the ABL90 FLEX PLUS HEM device in a clinical environment. It will involve testing whole blood samples using the device and comparing results against established reference method. The primary focus is on validating the device's performance of the hemolysis detection function. The study will be conducted at one selected clinical site with trained personnel and will follow a predefined protocol to ensure consistency and reliability of data collection. The outcomes will inform future clinical studies aimed at supporting regulatory submissions and clinical adoption.
Interventions
The hemolysis detection function is a newly developed sample quality feature on the ABL90 FLEX PLUS HEM intended to detect hemolyzed samples and to improve the reliability of the results provided by blood gas analyzer.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percent of samples correctly classified into hemolysis bins (0-4) using ABL90 FLEX PLUS HEM hemolysis flag | At time of sample analysis (single session per sample; Day 1) | Whole blood samples (native and contrived) are classified into five hemolysis bins based on reference ccfHb (mg/dL): bin 0 (0-100), bin 1 (101-200), bin 2 (201-400), bin 3 (401-1000), bin 4 (\>1000). Correct classification is the proportion of samples where the ABL90 FLEX PLUS HEM hemolysis flag matches the reference bin assignment. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Slope of change in ccfHb concentration over 0-45 minutes (mg/dL per minute) | 0-45 minutes after t=0 measurement (within one sample session; Day 1) | For each sample, ccfHb is measured on ABL90 FLEX PLUS HEM at t=0, 15, 30, and 45 minutes (±5 minutes). The outcome is the slope (mg/dL/min) from linear regression of ccfHb versus time over 0-45 minutes. |
| Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between ABL90 ccfHb (mg/dL) and Cobas 8000 Hemolysis Index (HI) | At time of paired analysis per sample (Day 1) | Paired measurements are obtained from the same sample: ABL90 FLEX PLUS HEM measures ccfHb (mg/dL) in S65 mode, and Roche cobas 8000 reports Hemolysis Index (HI) using the hemolysis index assay. The outcome is the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) across paired ABL90 ccfHb and Cobas HI values (unitless r). |
| Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between ccfHb and potassium concentration (cK+, mmol/L) after RMED aspiration manipulation | During RMED manipulation session (baseline to after 2 aspiration rounds; Day 1) | For each sample, ABL90 FLEX PLUS HEM measures ccfHb and potassium (cK+) at baseline (no manipulation), after 1 round of RMED aspiration manipulation, and after 2 rounds. The outcome is Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between ccfHb and potassium values pooled across the three measurements (unitless r). |
| Percentage of native whole blood samples with hemolysis (ccfHb > 20 mg/dL) | At time of native sample analysis (Day 1) | Among native (non-contrived) leftover arterial and venous whole blood samples, the outcome is the percentage of samples with ccfHb \> 20 mg/dL as measured on ABL90 FLEX PLUS HEM. |
