Analytical Validation of the abioSCOPE Device With the in Vitro Device (IVD) CAPSULE PSP Test: Comparison of PSP Values Measured With Venous Whole Blood and Those Measured With Arterial Whole Blood

Analytical Validation of the abioSCOPE Device With the IVD CAPSULE PSP Test: Comparison of PSP Values Measured With Venous Whole Blood and Those Measured With Arterial Whole Blood

Abionic society has developed a novel point-of-care (POC) platform, the abioSCOPE, and an in vitro diagnostic kit for the quantification of the pancreatic stone protein (PSP) to be analyzed specifically with the abioSCOPE® device. The PSP is a host protein biomarker produced by the pancreas in response to a sepsis-related organ dysfunction and has shown a great potential in the early identification of septic patients This test is intended to be used to aid in the early recognition of sepsis. The test is extremely easy to use and has a total turnaround time of approximately 8 minutes. This test uses only 50 microliters of K2/K3-EDTA venous anticoagulated whole blood. Results are quantitative (ng/ml). The product is for Investigational Use Only in the US and bears CE-marking. It is commercially available in selected European and non-European countries. The test has also been clinically validated in a multicentric, prospective, observational study performed (AB-PSP-001, clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT03474809).

The main goal of this study is to evaluate the analytical performances components of this product in a point-of-care environment, in particular the sample type comparability between arterial and venous whole blood.
