  1. Intra-assay CVs for the CRP analysis obtained from replicate measurements at low CRP values with the POCT
  2. *values < 5 mg/l are generally reported as “< 5 mg/l”, therefore no further calculations were possible
  3. Abbreviations: SD standard deviation, CV coefficient of variation, CV des desirable CV, n.d. not done
