  • Research summary

    This study is a mono-centric, open-label study aiming to assess accuracy and reliability of the combination of the MicroEye® sampling device and the ContinuMon® measurement device for glucose measurement by comparison with reference values as measured by blood gas analyser or Lab based analysis for withdrawn blood samples from ICU patient.

    During the study intravenous microdialysis will be performed using the MicroEye® device and the dialysate samples will be measured using the ContinuMon® device. Glucose measurements in dialysate will be compared to glucose blood results obtaining using an agreed reference method such as a blood gas analyser. Blood sampling will be conducted as required for the routine care of the patients’ with additional sampling up to 10 times daily when appropriate. The addition of an anticoagulant to the MicroEye® perfusate will only be considered if the patient is not receiving suitable anti-coagulation therapy.
