This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is evaluating a new portable blood testing device called the i-STAT CG8+ that measures two important minerals in your blood—potassium and ionized calcium—using just a small fingerstick sample. Researchers want to make sure this device works just as well as the standard blood tests done in hospital or lab settings. If successful, this could make it easier and faster for doctors to check these important minerals, especially in urgent or point-of-care settings.
Currently, blood tests for potassium and calcium usually require larger samples drawn from a vein and sent to a laboratory, which takes time. This trial exists to see if a smaller fingerstick sample can give doctors the same accurate results, potentially making testing faster and less invasive for patients.

If you enroll, a healthcare provider will prick your finger to collect two small blood samples, which will be tested on both the new portable device and a standard laboratory analyzer. The study compares the results from both methods to make sure they match. The entire visit should take just a few minutes, and there are no ongoing appointments or follow-up visits required.
