An evaluation of the Kodak glucose/BUN analyzer including experience with proposed testing protocols An evaluation of the analysis of serum urea and plasma_glucose on the Kodak Ektachem GLU/BUN()analyzer is described. It incorporates the experimental design and statistical methods outlined in the Proposed Standard for Establishing Performance Claims (PSEP) (1) for clinical chemical methods PSEP-2, 3 and 4 produced by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). These documents include details of baseline performance, precision and method comparison studies. Additionally, material from the Wellcome control scheme was analysed by both test and comparative methods. The results are presented and discussed together with comments gained from our experience in using the NCCLS documents. The results from the statistical analysis are employed to make some judgements concerning method acceptability.
