Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Quantitative values for sodium, potassium, urea, creatinin, albumin and
NTproBNP for both venous and capillarry plasma from 3 x 40 samples
Statistical correlation is estimated by Bland Altman plot and calculated by
intra-class correlation (ICC)
Secondary outcome
After a capillary blood collection the patient fills in a basic form, which
register the practicle experience with the use of the myBLOxs and the
experience with teh finger stick.
Background summary
Recently, Hessels+Grob bv has developed a portable bloodcentrifuge for
centrifugation of capillary blood at home (home collect test). Dr Jan Hessels
is owner of Hessels+Grob bv, and as clinical chemist in the Deventer Hospital.
This trial is carried out by dr Maarten Beinema (MD, head of laboratory for
trombosis and hemostasis) en dr Pita Bruggink (MD, outpatient clinic for
haertfailure). The laboratory tests are performed on the clinical chemical
laboratory of the SKB Hospital Winterswijk (dr Hans van der Vuurst, clinical
chemist).
Study objective
Study on the validity and usability of myBLOxs portbale centrifuge at home by
patient with heartfailure. Validity is measured by comparing laboratory results
from venous plasma with those from capillary plasma.
Study design
Comparative study, by which the laboratory results for sodium, potassium, urea,
creatinin, albumin and NTproBNP from venous vs capillary plasma are compared
with each other. Venous blood is collected at home by laboratory technician at
the same time as the patient collect his/her own capillary blood (within 2
hours) .
Study burden and risks
There is no or only slight risk associated wtih a finger stick. For safety
reasons we added disposable safety autolancets (Becton Dickinson)
