Background: We evaluated the performance of the GEM Premier 4000 (Instrumentation Laboratory, USA), a new blood gas/electrolytes/co-oximetry analyzer, according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines.
Methods: Within-run precision, total-run precision, linearity and sample-related carryover were analyzed using quality control materials at three different concentration levels for each analytes. Correlation was compared with the routinely used NOVA CCX2 (Nova Biomedical, USA) with patients¡¯ whole blood samples.
Results: The within-run and the total-run precisions of the GEM Premier 4000 showed very low CV of 0.04~4.40% and 0.06~4.11%, respectively, in all parameters except the lactate, which had CV of 5.58% in Level 1 QC material. The system showed a good linearity (r2=0.997~1.000, systemic error=0.00~0.20%) for all items. Sample-related carryover was -4.35%~0.15%. In comparison with the NOVA CCX2 instrument, correlation was high in all parameters with the r value ranging from 0.983-0.999 except for carboxyhemoglobin (r=0.804) and methemoglobin (r=0.010) whose concentrations were in the lower level.
Conclusions: GEM Premier 4000 showed good analytical performance required for blood gas analyzer in its precision, linearity, sample-related carryover, and close correlation with NOVA CCX2. It fulfills most of the requirements for both point-of-care and laboratory use.
