Point of Care Precision and Sample Comparison Study of Minicare BNP at Innsbruck Hospital - MI-BNP-CE04-AN2016

All blood sample collection methods are standard routine procedures. These patients usually have an indwelling cannula from which blood samples are drawn. So no additional venipuncture is performed according to this study. The finger prick sample - taken only for study purposes - might be accompanied by small pain at the fingertip. But this pain is usually of short duration and tolerated very well. No unanticipated adverse events are expected to occur in this study.
