Performance evaluation of the BC-720 auto hematology analyzer and establishment of the reference intervals of erythrocyte sedimentation rate in healthy adults

ABSTRACT:

Background

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a new reporting parameter of the BC-720 auto hematology analyzer; however, no biological reference interval for healthy adults has been established for this parameter.

Methods

Outpatients or hospitalized patients with ESR test orders were selected. The ESR was measured by the standard method of ESR (Westergren) recommended by the International Council for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH), the BC-720 hematology analyzer, and the LBY-XC40B auto ESR analyzer. The data were statistically analyzed and compared among different methods. The repeatability and carryover rate (CR) of the BC-720 were assessed in randomly selected samples for each range segment. Blood Samples from three hospitals in China were collected, and the
