Waived test are simple and easy test which can be performed in the home set up.lt has very low incidence and risk for inaccurate results.It is approved by the FDA in Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment .It is because of easy portability,space saver and interpretation of report is immediate which is ultimately helpful in right time interventions
Some other example of waived test are
Urine pregnancy test,ESR test,Heamoglobin test,Urine dip stick test
You will be measuring Sylvia's fasting blood glucose using a glucometer You know this is classified...
The glucometer contains an instrüment called a photometer How is blood glucose measured using a photometer?
Measuring blood glucose is a quantitative test. What does this mean?
A physician would like to know the mean fasting blood glucose value (milligrams per 100 ml) of patients seen in a diabetes clinic over the past 10 years. Determine the number of records the physician should examine in order to obtain a 90% confidence interval for µ if the desired width of the interval is 6 units (SE = 3) and a pilot sample yields a variance of 60. Show all work or no credit will be received. 13. A...
Approximately 9% of the US population has type 2 diabetes. A fasting blood glucose test is one option to test for type 2 diabetes. Using this test, the probability that a person tests positive, given that they have diabetes is 0.6. What is the value of the intersect of diabetes and test result positive? P(diabetes ∩ testpositive) =
Fasting normal blood sugar glucose concentration is between 70-100 mg per 100 ml of blood. Express this concentration range of blood glucose in mM. The answer is 3.89-5.55 mM glucose. Using MW glucose of 180 g/mol. Please show the work
A patients fasting blood glucose is high > 300 mg/dL and his serum sodium is falsely low. This could be related to the osmotically active glucose draws water from cells into intravascular space creating a dilution. What would you recommend: to increase his sodium intake or to control his blood glucose?
The table shows the results of a screening test of fasting blood glucose with the cut-off at 140 mg/dl. Compute the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values.

The most commonly used screening test for detection of Diabetes Mellitus is Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) test. However, like almost all screening tests, this test is not 100% accurate. In order to evaluate the FBG test carried out by a specific device: 'OneTouch Ultra 2' meter, a more rigorous test is used (a gold standard), which is the Glucose tolerance test. The Table below summarizes the data collected from the study to evaluate the FBG screening test. Please, calculate all...
he following table represents fasting blood glucose levels measured in monozygotic twins who were raised apart. Each row represents a separate pair of twins. Set 1 95 97 Set 2 93 90 Set 3 89 92 Set 4 101 90 Set 5 92 105 What is the covariance of fasting blood glucose between sets of twins?
Fasting concentrations (mmol/L) of glucose in blood were measured in a sample of diabetic patients implanted with a new insulin delivery platform. P#1 P#2 P#3 P#4 P#5 P#6 P#7 P#8 P#9 P#10 5.5 4.8 3.8 4.0 5.2 5.1 4.8 4.4 4.2 6.1 Computer simulations of the platform predicted a fasting glucose level of 4.5 mmol/L. Use a statistical test to fundament your opinion on whether the data is consistent with the model prediction. Identify suitable null and alternative hypotheses. Is...
