Commercially available linearity standards were analyzed in triplicate on the Beckman CX3® and the results analyzed by the Least Squares method. The results are shown below. Specimens exceeding these limits should be diluted with normal saline and reanalyzed. Multiply the result by the appropriate dilution factor. | | Intercept | Slope | R2 | Sey | Range | |---------|-----------|-------|-------|------|-------------------| | Calcium | 0.34 | 0.911 | 1.000 | 0.35 | 0.8 – 14.3 mg/dL | | Na | 2.37 | 0.968 | 1.000 | 2.61 | 0 – 200 mmol/L | | K | -0.09 | 1.017 | 1.000 | 0.03 | 0.9 – 15.2 mmol/L | | CL | -0.71 | 0.999 | 1.000 | 0.99 | 0 – 197 mmol/L | | CO2 | 0.15 | 1.000 | 1.000 | 0.41 | 0 – 40 mmol/L | {2}------------------------------------------------ The results show this method is linear as shown below: | Calcium | 0.8 to 14.3 mg/dl | |-----------|--------------------| | Chloride | 0 to 150 mmol/L | | Potassium | 0.9 to 15.2 mmol/L | | Sodium | 0 to 200 mmol/L | | Total CO2 | 0 to 40 mmol/L | #### 6.3 SENSITIVITY: The sensitivity of this methodology was documented through the repetitive assay of a serum control first with a known concentration and then diluting the sample until the minimum result was obtained and then run in replicates of 10 on the Beckman Synchron® System. Under the conditions described, the following limits of detection were established: | Analyte | Limit of Detection | |-----------|--------------------| | Calcium | 1.5 mg/dL | | Sodium | 10 mmol/L | | Potassium | 1.0 mmol/L | | Chloride | 15 mmol/L | | Total CO2 | 5.0 mmol/L | - 6.4 Analytical Specificity: Determined according to NCCLS EP7-A. Hemoglobin levels up to 500 mg/dL, Bilirubin levels up to 20 mg/dL, and Lipemia levels up to 1800 mg/dL were tested and did not show any adverse effect on a stock sample with levels of sodium at 148 mmol/L, potassium at 5.2 mmol/L, chloride at 119 mmol/L, CO2 at 19 mmol/L, and calcium at 9.4 mg/dL. Stock solutions of the substance to be tested were prepared at 20x concentrations and 0.5 ml of this stock was placed in a 10 ml volumetric flask and made up to volume with the base pool. The control stock was prepared similarly but with water as the diluent. Only Sodium Heparin, Lithium Heparin and Ammonium Heparin up to 45 Units/mL are acceptable anticoagulants. {3}------------------------------------------------ ### 7.0 PATIENT COMPARISON : Serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid and urine specimens, collected from adult patients, were assayed for calcium, chloride, potassium, sodium, and total CO2 on a SYNCHRON CX3® System using GenChem and Beckman flow cell reagents, wash solutions and calibrators.

Sodium results are for the diagnosis and treatment of aldosteronism (excessive secretion of the hormone aldosterone), diabetes insipidus (chronic excretion of large amounts of dilute urine, accompanied by extreme thirst), adrenal hypertension, Addison's disease (caused by the destruction of the adrenal glands), dehvdration, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance. Potassium results are used to monitor electrolyte imbalance in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions characterized by low or high blood potassium levels. Chloride results are used in the treatment of electrolyte and metabolic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and diabetic acidosis. Carbon dioxide results are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous and potentially serious disorders associated with changes in the body's acid-base balance. Calcium results are used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid diseases, chronic renal disease and tetany (intermittent muscular contractions or spasm).
