Including sensor information in medical interventions aims to support surgeons to decide on subsequent action steps by characterizing tissue intraoperatively.

Introduction/objectives: Following the IFCC (The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine) guidelines concerning high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays, we performed an assessment of the VIDAS® High-Sensitive Troponin I (TNHS) assay. The test was evaluated on its capacity to detect at least 50 % of healthy individuals and checked that the coefficient of variation was less than 10 % at the 99th percentile.
Methods: High-sensitivity performance was assessed by examining the limits of detection, the determination of the 99th percentile value, the evaluated imprecision at said value and the detectable results above limit of detection (LoD) in a cohort of healthy European individuals.
