The epocs blood analysis system (Epocal Inc., Ottawa, Ontario,\nCanada) is a newly developed in vitro diagnostic hand-held analyzer\nfor testing whole blood samples at point-of-care, which\nprovides blood gas, electrolytes, ionized calcium, glucose, lactate,\nand hematocrit/calculated hemoglobin rapidly. The analytical\nperformance of the epocs system was evaluated in a tertiary\nhospital, see related research article ââ?¬Å?Analytical evaluation of the\nepocs point-of-care blood analysis system in cardiopulmonary\nbypass patientsââ?¬Â [1]. Data presented are the linearity analysis for\n9 parameters and the comparison study in 40 cardiopulmonary\nbypass patients on 3 epocs meters, Instrumentation Laboratory\nGEM4000, Abbott iSTAT, Nova CCX, and Roche Accu-Chek Inform II\nand Performa glucose meters.
