What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to validate the performance of the ABL90 FLEX PLUS device for measuring various blood gas parameters in a Point of Care setting. It will compare results from the ABL90 FLEX PLUS with a predicate device using blood samples from both arterial and venous sources, as well as capillary samples. The study will focus on 15 specific analytes, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements for clinical use. Participants will provide blood samples through existing lines or finger sticks, and the study will assess the device's effectiveness across different sample types.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 years or older who can provide informed consent and blood samples.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have conditions that pose unnecessary risks during sample collection will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the accuracy and reliability of blood gas measurements in clinical settings, leading to better patient management.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in validating blood gas measurement devices, indicating that this approach is supported by prior research.
