Analytical Validation of Stream™ Platform

This is a multi-center study, being conducted to facilitate the Analytical Validation of Stream™ Platform. This includes precision evaluation assessing repeatability and reproducibility of the pH measurements conducted by Origin™, tests evaluating the linearity of measurements, analytical specificity (interference testing), and method comparison studies. The tests described under this study will be completed using commercially available calibration fluids, and peritoneal drainage samples collected from patients that undergo gastrointestinal surgery. Simulated peritoneal fluids, adjusted to the required pH may be utilized in some cases. Additionally, peritoneal drainage samples may be used for testing, verification, and validation of novel Origin™features, designed to improve user workflow. The following patient populations will be eligible for the collection of abdominal drainage samples: colorectal, hepatobiliary, and trauma and acute care patients.

This study will require collection of peritoneal drainage fluid of subjects that undergo gastrointestinal surgery. One sample will be collected per day and will be labelled with a study ID, date and time of collection, and then frozen. The sample will be supplied to FluidAI team. The team at FluidAI will conduct the laboratory assessments required for analytical validation of pH measurements of Origin™.

This study does not pose any risk to participants as abdominal drainage fluid is routinely discarded as it is considered a waste product. No personal health information will be collected from the participants, and the study requires no follow up. Participation from subjects will be deemed complete when they are discharged from the hospital, or when their abdominal drain is removed as determined by their surgeon.
