Study Summary

This trial tests an accuracy of a device to measure neonatal blood levels in a medical setting.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for newborns up to 28 days old, born at or after 38 weeks of gestation. They must be deemed suitable by the investigator and have a standard care sample that fits the study's needs. Newborns who've already given successful blood samples or been exposed to certain substances recently, as well as those with infectious diseases like Hepatitis C or HIV, cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial aims to validate performance claims for ABL90 FLEX PLUS—a method comparison tool used on heparinized neonatal arterial, venous, and capillary whole blood—in a Point of Care setting. It focuses on two parameters: ctBil (total bilirubin) and FHbF (fetal hemoglobin fraction).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves testing an analytical method rather than a drug or therapy, there are no direct side effects from interventions being studied. However, routine risks associated with drawing blood in neonates apply.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Investigational DeviceActive Control1 Intervention
The test device in this clinical study is the ABL90 FLEX PLUS running SW3.5 MR2 manufactured by Radiometer Medical ApS The analyzer provides results for 17 parameters in 35 seconds using 65 µL heparinized whole blood. However, in this investigation only the data concerning the parameters ctBil and FHbF will be evaluated.
Group II: Predicate devicePlacebo Group1 Intervention
The predicate device for this study is the unmodified device ABL90 FLEX PLUS (k160153) running software SW 3.1 MR7 including sensor casettes and solution packs versions corresponding to 2016. ABL90 FLEX PLUS SW 3.1 MR7, has been selected as the predicate device because it has the appropriate 510(k) clearance, and the intended use matches the ABL90 FLEX PLUS SW. SW3.5 MR2 device.
