| Popis: | The Boehringer Mannheim Hitachi 911 is a selective analyzer for 35 different methods including 3 ion-selective electrode (ISE) methods. We have evaluated this analyzer primarily to obtain objective information on its applicability for routine urine analyses in our laboratory. We also implemented appropriate assays for various special serum- and whole blood-tests, some for the first time on the Hitachi 911 and some with modified settings. Analytical evaluation involved NCCLS EP5-T2 (imprecision), NCCLS EP6-P (linearity), Krouwer 27 (multifactor) and Passing & Bablok (method comparison) evaluation protocols. With the exception of evidence of systematic erroneous sample predilution, overall results were favourable. Practicability of the Hitachi 911 was judged by simulating daily routine. During a period of two weeks, daily urine samples were rerun on the Hitachi 911, leading to a gain of about 50% in total processing time. It was concluded that the Hitachi 911 meets the requirements in terms of analytical performance, reliability, versatility and speed for an analyzer to be used in a routine (urine) setting, while having a distinct role in special (serum/whole blood) measurements. |
