Clinical Studies

Vitestro Human Factors Testing With Phlebotomist Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is validation testing is the testing conducted at the end of the device development process to assess user interactions with a device user interface to identify use errors that would or could result in serious harm to the patient or user. Human factors validation testing is also used to assess the effectiveness of risk management measures.

Evaluation of Plateletworks and TEG 6S Platelet mapping platelet function assays Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of Plateletworks Arachidonic Acid (AA) and ADP tests, and TEG 6S AA and ADP percent activity/inhibition tests, to differentiate platelet function in healthy controls and patients on dual aspirin and clopidogrel anti-platelet agent therapy.
Patient Acceptance Evaluation For The Autonomous Robotic Phlebotomy Device Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of the study is to gather exploratory data about patient perception and experiences with a non-functional, non-invasive only version of the Aletta ARPD. A positive perception is of major importance for adoption of the device amongst patients.
Understanding Serum Biotin Clearance as a Means to Mitigate the Risk of Biotin Interference with Clinical Laboratory Tests: What is the impact of impaired renal function and chronic biotin ingestion on biotin clearance? Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clearance rate of biotin from the serum in patients with impaired renal function following ingestion of over-the-counter biotin supplements.
