Objective. The Belgian national External Quality Assessment Scheme (EQAS) for haematology organized a survey to assess the reliability of haemoglobin (Hb) measurements with the blood gas analysers (BGAs) currently available in Belgian hospitals. Material and methods. All hospital laboratories received two specimens of fresh EDTA anticoagulated whole blood and were asked to determine the Hb concentration using both the conventional haematology analyser (HA) and all BGAs in the hospital. Ninety-seven hospital laboratories participated in the study and a total of 166 results were reported. The BGAs used (grouped according to technology) were Rapidlab 845, 855, 865 (Bayer 1, n = 41), Rapidlab 1245, 1265, Rapidpoint 405 (Bayer 2, n = 19), GEM Premier 3000 (Instrumentation Laboratory, IL, n = 13), ABL 500 and 600 series (Radiometer 1, n = 13), ABL 700 and 800 series (Radiometer 2, n = 35), Omni C, S5 (Roche 1, n = 7), Omni 3, 6, 9, S2, S4, S6 (Roche 2, n = 21). Results. For the BGAs from Bayer, Radiometer and Roche, interlaboratory variation ranged from 0.6 % to 4.1 %, indicating good precision and close agreement between centres. A significant negative bias observed on the GEM Premier 3000 using the EDTA anticoagulated blood samples did not appear to be present in fresh heparinized whole blood samples. There was no significant difference in imprecision and bias between Hb measurements on BGA situated in and outside the central laboratory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
