Evaluation of the Radiometer whole blood glucose measuring system, EML 105.
The performance of a new glucose electrode system from Radiometer was tested using two EML 105 analyzers (Radiometer Medical A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark). Results were very precise (both analyzers reported CV = 1.0% at a glucose concentration of 13.4 mmol/l). Comparison of methods was performed according to the NCCLS EP9-T guideline. Patients glucose results from both analyzers were lower compared with the results obtained with a Hitachi 911 (Boehringer Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany). There was no haematocrit dependency of relevance.
