Capillary-Venous Paired Collection (CaVe)

May 28, 2026 updated by: Entia Ltd

CApillary-VEnous Paired Collection (CAVE)

This study is recruiting participants to donate 3 capillary blood samples to be tested on the investigational system. At the same time, remnant routine blood samples used for Complete Blood Count (CBC) testing from the same participants will be tested on the investigation system. The participants' CBC results analyzed on the gold standard laboratory analyzer (comparator) will be collected and compared against the results obtained from the testing of capillary blood samples and remnant blood samples on the investigational system. The participants' involvement in the study is only for the duration of collecting the blood samples. No follow-up is anticipated. The results from the investigational system is for research use only and will not inform or change the participants' treatment or care.

Intervention / Treatment
Participants
All participants to undergo the same study method. Where all participants are to donate capillary blood to complete 2 tests on the investigational system and the remnant blood sample from routine CBC testing will also be tested on the investigational system. The routine CBC results will be compared to the results obtained by the investigational system.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To validate the measurement performance of the investigational system (bias and %bias)
Time Frame: through study completion, estimated 6 months
The difference between the measured parameters of the comparator and investigational system will provide the bias (and therefore also the % bias) of the investigational system, which will be checked against pre-determined acceptance criteria.
through study completion, estimated 6 months
To validate the measurement performance of the investigational system (regression)
Time Frame: through study completion, estimated 6 months
The plotted difference between the measured parameters of the comparator and investigational system will provide the regression, which will be checked against pre-determined acceptance criteria.
through study completion, estimated 6 months
To validate the measurement performance of the investigational system (CV and SD)
Time Frame: through study completion, estimated 6 months
The difference between the measured parameters of the comparator and investigational system will inform the Coefficient of Variation and Standard Deviation of the dataset, which will be checked against pre-determined acceptance criteria.
through study completion, estimated 6 months
