    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The Sysmex CN-6500 is a new haemostasis analyser with an integrated immunoassay module that performs chemiluminescence enzyme assay (CLEIA) in addition to coagulation, turbidimetric, chromogenic and platelet aggregation tests. AIMS: To evaluate the analytical performance of the CN-6500 against the predicate device (Sysmex HISCL-800) for soluble thrombomodulin (TM), thrombin-antithrombin (TAT), tissue plasminogen activator/plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 complex (tPAI-C) and plasmin α2 plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC) assays. METHODS: Imprecision was assessed by testing two levels of quality control plasmas 10 times on 5 separate days. Comparability was studied in 230 plasmas from normal donors (n = 30), patients with suspected disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC, n = 100), sepsis (n = 20) or liver disease (n = 20), lipaemic (n = 20), haemolysed (n = 20) and icteric samples (n = 20). Limit of detection, limit of quantitation and linearity were determined by testing serial dilutions of normal plasma. Sample carryover was assessed by testing samples with high and low normal levels of the analytes concerned. RESULTS: The CN-6500 performed 21 CLEIA tests per hour, while simultaneously performing coagulation tests. Acceptable between-run imprecision was obtained using commercial controls with normal and high activity for each analyte (%CV <4%), for all four assays. Excellent linearity was observed (slope 0.89-1.03; r2 >0.99) across the measurement range. The lower limits of detection and quantitation were as follows: TM <0.3/0.6 TU/ml, TAT >0.1/<0.2 ng/ml, PIC <0.004/<0.008 µg/ml and tPAI-C < 0.01/<0.1 ng/ml, respectively. All four assays showed excellent correlation between analysers and were unaffected by haemolysis, icterus or lipaemia. No carryover was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate that the performance of the CLEIA assays on the CN-6500 is comparable to that of a stand-alone immunoassay analyser.
