Overview
Entia is a health technology company that has developed a blood testing device called Entia Liberty, which analyses blood collected by a finger prick. Entia is sponsoring this research study to compare the results from Entia Liberty finger prick tests to results from the gold-standard laboratory analyser that tests blood from the arm, port, or PICC line.
Interventions
- Device Entia Liberty System
Participants will donate finger-prick blood samples to be tested on the Entia Liberty System. The results will not be used to inform clinical decisions or affect routine clinical care in any way.
Primary outcome measures
- Validity of of the Liberty System for haematological parameters of interest: Hb, WBC, PLT, ANC [Time frame: Through study completion, up to 8 days per participant.]
- Reliability of of the Liberty System for haematological parameters of interest: Hb, WBC, PLT, ANC [Time frame: Through study completion, up to 8 days per participant.]
