Evaluation of Clinical Chemistries from Biospecimens Collected with a Painless Capillary Blood Collection TASSO SST Among a Subset of Patients Enrolled in an Observational Study of Sepsis in Uganda
REFNo: HS1751ES

We plan to compare capillary chemistry values collected via the painless Tasso collection device to standard serum chemistry values collected via venipuncture at a single study visit (Day 28 of the main study(HS 2292)) for each consenting participant. We plan to evaluate the correlation between chemistry values from capillary versus venous blood collection and identify any scenarios where the values diverge such as for high or low values or for specific analytes collected in a remote field location. We plan to review the failure rate and causes for failure for the Tasso device
