Interference Testing
Interference Testing for Rapidlab 1200 Sensors
Siemens performed interference testing to demonstrate the specificity of the system
sensors.
The results from each of the studies were tabulated and the simple average effect was
determined for each interfering compound. The Effect of Interference column
demonstrates the apparent change in result as a function of introducing the interfering
compound. In several instances multiple tests were performed on an interfering substance
as well as several levels of interfering substance.
The effect of the potential interfering substance on results is summarized in the following
table. The table shows the interference level tested along with the average change in blood
results (test result spiked - control result unspiked) for each of the sensors.
