overall average
* this value represents agreement ± 1 bin
** this value represents agreement ± 2 bins
*** similar competitor devices with similar intended purpose (reflectometric device for automatic read-out of urine test
strips)
The exact agreement for parameters blood, urobilinogen, bilirubin, protein, nitrite, ketones,
glucose, pH and leukocytes amounts to ≥ 80 % in every case. For parameter density
agreement ± 1 bin amounts to 96 % and 65 % compared to two different competitor products.
Agreement ± 2 bins amounts to 100 % and 90 %, respectively.
Overall average exact agreement is 91 % and 88 % when compared to competitor products.
Overall agreement ± 1 bin amounts to 100 % and 98 %.
