Evaluation of Autochemical Analyzer Toshiba 120 FR

자동화학 분석기 Toshiba 120 FR의 평가

The lower limit of detection, precision, setting method of target value, reportable range determination, recovery, linearity, and comparison study with another equipment was evaluated for the Toshiba-120FR chemistry autoanalyzer which was newly introduced at the Daejeon Veteran Hospital in Dec. 2003. Nineteen kinds of test for AST, ALT, ALP, LDH, GGT, TP, ALB, GLU, T-cho, T-bil, TG, UA, CAL, IP, AMY, HDL-C, LDL-C, Cre and BUN were performed to evaluate the lower limit of detection, precision, setting method of target value, reportable range determination, recovery, linearity, and comparison study with other equipment according to the NCCLS guidelines(EP5-A, EP6-P, EP9-A). The Toshiba-120FR autochemical analyzer showed good precision for all tested items. The data concerning the lower limit of detection, precision(total CV 0.47%~3.65%), setting method of target value, reportable range determination, recovery(93%~111%), linearity($R^2=0.997{\sim}0.999$), and comparison study(r=0.977~0.999) with other equipment was acceptable for all tested items. The results of evaluation for the Toshiba-120FR autochemical analyzer showed that this equipment could be used as an alternative to other equipment.
