Simultaneous point-of-care testing of blood lipid profile and glucose: Performance evaluation of the GCare Lipid Analyzer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Point-of-care (POC) testing provides quick results and includes tests for blood glucose and lipid profiles. We evaluated the newly developed POC device, the GCare Lipid Analyzer, which is used to measure glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels.

Methods

Venous and capillary blood samples were collected from patients who visited Korea University Guro Hospital. The results obtained using the GCare Lipid Analyzer were compared with those obtained using the TBA 2000FR chemistry analyzer and YSI 2300 STAT Plus analyzer. The glucose system evaluation process was based on the International Organization for Standardization 15197:2013 guidelines.

Results

The correlation coefficients (R) for TC, TG, a
