Evaluation on clinical performance of the new low-value platelet measurement mode (PLT-8X) of BC-6800Plus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The accuracy of low-value platelet (PLT) testing is a key reference for clinical decision-making regarding PLT transfusion or surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the capability to detect low-value PLT of the 8 times optical platelet counting (PLT-8X) mode of the BC-6800Plus auto hematology analyzer.

Methods

Totally 40 fresh anticoagulated venous whole blood samples with PLT ≤50×10⁹/L were collected from the clinical laboratory at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University to evaluate the precision of low-value PLT in PLT-8X mode. Moreover, 67 samples with PLT <100×10⁹/L were collected, and a methodological comparison was conducted between the results of PLT-8X and those obtained by the reference method [red blood cell (RBC)/PLT rat
