Performance Evaluation of the Preanalytic Module of the ACL TOP 750 Hemostasis Lab System
Dear Editor, Hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia are important preanalytic sources of errors in coagulation testing of blood samples, besides sample-to-anticoagulant ratio, transport stability, and storage temperature. Lipemia (13%), hyperbilirubinemia (11%), and hemolysis (4%) in whole blood cause erro...

Summary: | Dear Editor, Hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia are important preanalytic sources of errors in coagulation testing of blood samples, besides sample-to-anticoagulant ratio, transport stability, and storage temperature. Lipemia (13%), hyperbilirubinemia (11%), and hemolysis (4%) in whole blood cause errors in coagulation testing [1, 2]. Hemoglobin, bilirubin, and triglyceride are major interfering substances that affect test results by spectral overlap [3, 4]. Hemolytic, icteric, and lipemic (HIL) sample check functions have been implemented in the preanalytic module of the ACL TOP family 50 series spectrophotometric hemostasis equipment (Instrumentation Laboratory Company, Bedford, MA, USA) to support preanalytic sample evaluation. We evaluated the performance of the ACL TOP 750 preanalytic module, using patient samples. KCI Citation Count: 0 |
