  • Patent number: 8160818
    Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium of instructions are provided which are useful for determining whether an evaluation testing method or device is clinically equivalent to a reference testing method or device. The report can include a modified mean difference plot, a variability chart, confidence intervals for bias and a plot of the intervals. A graphical user interface is provided to allow data associated with the reference and evaluation methods or devices to be identified. A level of variance in the reference method is determined. An observed bias between the evaluation methods or devices and the reference methods or devices is calculated. A confidence interval for the bias is calculated. The biases between the evaluation methods or devices and reference method or device is compared relative to the level of variance in the reference method, and a report is generated including a conclusion about whether the evaluation methods or devices are clinically equivalent to the reference method or device.

  • Publication number: 20090312722
    Abstract: A system and method for collection of fluids, as may be used in evaluation of drag dose delivery completeness after parenteral injection by measuring fluid volume leakage from the injection site is provided. The system and method optionally separate the collection and measurement steps, which make the system and method easy to use in multi-site clinical trials, and for batch weighing operations.
