| Popis: | The performance of the Ortho ELT-15 hematology analyzer was evaluated in the high volume, computerized clinical hematology laboratory at M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute, Houston, and compared with that of reference instrumentation currently in use for routine patient care, the Coulter S-Plus II. The within-run precision, linearity, and lack of carryover was excellent, and the day-to-day precision was acceptable for the entire range of tested parameters. Coefficients of correlation for these parameters were 0.99 or greater, with the exception of the mean corpuscular volume, where r = 0.95. Special emphasis was placed on the correlation study of white blood cells and platelets at low ranges. Correlation was extremely good (r = 0.97) for white blood cell counts less than 4.0 x 109 L (4.0 x 103/ μL) as well as for PLT counts (r = 0.93) less than 50 x 109/L (50 x 103/μL). These excellent performance characteristics for the complete blood cell parameters make the ELT-15 another superior advance over previous instrumentation in the field of automated hematology. |
