Healthy and Acutely Ill Children & Adults Clinical Trial
Official title:
Study of Technical Accuracy and Userfriendliness of Two Point-of-care C Reactive Protein Devices
Study to test technical accuracy and userfriendliness of two Point-of-care C Reactive
Protein devices (POC CRP devices) in comparison with laboratory CRP testing on children and
adults.
Research questions:
1. Are the POC CRP devices technically accurate? Do the measured values agree with CRP
values measured at the clinical laboratory?
2. Are the 2 POC CRP devices equivalent ? 2.1. Are the 2 POC CRP devices equally reliable?
2.1.1. Comparison of 2 measurements in the same patient on 1 device
(inter-observer-variability) 2.1.2. Comparison of 2 measurements in the same patient on
2 identical devices (inter-device-variability) 2.2. Are the 2 Point-of-Care CRP devices
equally userfriendly in a general practice surgery? (userfriendliness
