Analytical evaluation of the VITROS® 5600 Integrated System in a pediatric setting and determination of pediatric reference intervals

The VITROS 5600 Integrated System is suitable for use in a pediatric setting. Age- and gender-partitioned pediatric reference intervals for 25 common analytes were also determined as a pilot to the ongoing CALIPER project. These reference intervals are valuable for all VITROS® users as well as any laboratory assessing these analytes once they demonstrate the acceptability of transference to their laboratory.
