Clinical performance validation of an integrated cartridge based bedside blood gas analyzer system in the acute care setting.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to evaluate the clinical performance of the EG-i30 blood gas analyzer and its test cartridge (EG10+), a maintenance-free electrochemical point-of-care blood gas analyzer system (referred to as EG), in comparison with the established ABL90 FLEX blood gas analyzer system (referred to as ABL) in the acute care setting. A total of 216 clinical residual samples from 94 patients were analyzed using both systems. Key blood gas and electrolyte parameters, including pH, pO₂, pCO₂, K⁺, Na⁺, iCa²⁺, Cl^-, Lac, Glu, and Hct, were measured. Performance was assessed using statistical methods including Bland-Altman plots, Pearson's correlation, concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), and Passing-Bablok regression. ROC curv
