| The differences between the filters will be analysed using Passing-Bablok regression, according to CLSI EP09c from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. The parameter to be assessed is the significance of the Passing-Bablok regression, which is performed for each different sample type. Additionally, for each sample type, the measurement results of the filters should demonstrate a correlation coefficient (R) of at least 0.95 Furthermore, the venous whole blood and plasma results as a function of hematocrit for the alternative filter(s) will be analyzed. | — |
