Precision 20 days (aqueous materials)
The precision of the i-STAT Glucose Test on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument was evaluated using 5 levels of aqueous materials. This 20-day multi-day precision testing was based on CLSI document EP05-A3: Evaluation of Precision of Quantitative Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline-Third Edition. The study was conducted using 10 instruments and one test cartridge lot over 20 days at one site. Total precision ('within-laboratory', Sr), within-run, (Sr), between-run, (Sr) and between-day, (Saa) were estimated for each level. The results of the 20-day precision study are shown in Table 1.

b. Linearity
The study was designed based on CLSI EP06-A: Evaluation of the linearity of quantitative measurement procedures. The linearity of the i-STAT Glucose test was evaluated on the i-STAT Alinity Instruments by preparing a series of glucose concentration levels in whole blood that spanned the reportable range of the test. The best fitting regression model was a second order model, and the absolute value of non-linearity ranged from 0.00 to 23.8 mg/dL. The i-STAT Glucose test used with the i-STAT Alinity Instruments demonstrated linearity over the reportable range (20-700 mg/dL).

c. Recovery
The recovery of the i-STAT Glucose test was evaluated on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument by creating a series of glucose concentration levels in whole blood, measuring their assigned value on the predicate and determining the recovery bias and % recovery. The % recovery ranged from 94.6% to 100.3% across the glucose reportable range (20-700 mg/dL).
d. Limit of Ouantitation (LoO)
The study was based on the CLSI EP17-A2: Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline—Second Edition. The LoO of the i-STAT Glucose test was evaluated on the i-STAT Alinity Instruments using whole blood that was altered to low glucose concentrations ( 10% of the mean of glucose test results for the control sample.

A hydroxyurea concentration above 0.43 mmol/L may give a falsely elevated i-STAT glucose test result of more than 10%.
f. Anticoagulant Study
The sample type comparison study was performed using the i-STAT Glucose Test on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument and 40 blood samples across the glucose concentration range. The comparator condition for this study was heparinized whole blood and the test condition was non-anticoagulated whole blood. The Deming regression result was a slope of 1.00 and a correlation coefficient of 1.00.
g. Altitude study
The effects of altitude were evaluated for the i-STAT Glucose test on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument at altitude of up to 10.000 feet above sea level. The altitude performance was evaluated using two lots of cartridges, commercially available i-STAT Glucose control materials that represented 3 Glucose levels.
The performance of the i-STAT Glucose test used with the i-STAT Alinity Instrument at altitude up to 10,000 feet was found to be equivalent to the performance of the i-STAT Glucose test at sea level.
h. Oxygen study
The effects of Oxygen were evaluated for the i-STAT Glucose test on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument using whole blood samples. The performance of the i-STAT Glucose test was evaluated at low and high levels of oxygen at four glucose levels
This study demonstrated equivalent glucose results when evaluated at low and high oxygen levels for all glucose concentrations tested.

Comparison Study
Method Comparison with Predicate Device i.
The method comparison study compared the clinical results of the i-STAT Glucose Test on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument to the i-STAT Glucose Test performance on the i-STAT 1 Wireless Analyzer (predicate). This study was conducted across 3 point of care sites. The study included 237 subjects using whole blood (venous or arterial) samples covering the measuring range 24 to 673 mg/dL. The Weighted Deming regression for all 3 sites combined had a regression slope of 0.999, intercept of 1.164 and correlation coefficient of 1.000.
