Analytical Validation of the abioSCOPE Device With a PSP Test: Point-of-Care Precision, Sample Type Comparison and Sample Stability

Abionic SA has developed a novel point-of-care (POC) platform, the abioSCOPE, and an in vitro diagnostic kit for the quantification of the pancreatic stone protein (PSP) to be analyzed specifically with the abioSCOPE® device. This test is intended to be used to aid in the early recognition of sepsis. The test is extremely easy to use and has a total turnaround time of approximately 8 minutes. This test uses only 30 microliters of K2/K3-EDTA anticoagulated whole blood or plasma. Results are quantitative (ng/ml). The product is for Investigational Use Only in the US and bears CE-marking. It is commercially available in selected European and non-European countries. The test has also been clinically validated in a multicentric, prospective, observational study performed (AB-PSP-001, clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT03474809). The main goals of this study are to evaluate certain analytical performances components of this product in a point-of-care environment, in particular the precision, sample type comparability and specimen stability of the product. Such data will support regulatory filing of a US FDA 510(k) premarket notification file and of a European IVD Regulation technical file to continue product commercialization in 2022, when this novel regulation will be effective.
