Clinical performance evaluation of serum amyloid A module of Mindray BC-7500CS automated hematology analyzer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laboratory detection of high values of serum amyloid A (SAA) is impaired by the hook effect. In response to this problem, Mindray has launched the new generation BC-7500CS automated hematology analyzer with an SAA autodilution (SAA-D) function. The present study aimed to verify the performance of the SAA module.

Methods

Venous whole-blood specimens anticoagulated with EDTA-K2 were randomly collected from outpatients and inpatient of the Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (CH). Background, repeatability, precision, linear range, intermode comparison, and interference of the SAA module of the Mindray BC-7500CS were evaluated, and the performance of the SAA-D function was verified.

Results

The Mindray BC-7500CS showed an SAA background of 0.14 m
