Unlocking the future of blood collection: a step-by-step guide for the performance assessment of capillary sampling methods

Verifying alternative capillary sampling methods for the responsible development of decentralized blood collection using a new methodology based on Six Sigma.

As alternative blood sampling methods continue to grow due to phlebotomist shortages and the need for person-centered care, it is vital to support these innovations with solid scientific validation. This webinar introduces the σ3-methodology, a Six Sigma-based approach developed to measure and verify the accuracy and precision of alternative blood sampling methods like lateral upper-arm blood collection (LUBC). Join us to explore this methodology, learn about its clinical impact, and understand how it can enhance diagnostic care by enabling safe and effective decentralized sample collection at home.

Of specific interested for:

Clinical laboratory professionals seeking to improve sampling accuracy.
Quality assurance specialists in diagnostic labs.
Researchers exploring alternative sampling methods.
Regulatory affairs professionals in healthcare.
Healthcare providers interested in patient-friendly sampling options.
