  1. Total observed error (TEobs) for the CRP analysis performed on two automated bench top analyzers (ABX Pentra 400, AU 5800) and the point-of-care analyzer TEobs > TEdes (i.e., 29.6%) but < TEmin (i.e., 44.4%) is shown in bold letters
  2. Abbreviations: vs versus, TE des desirable total allowable error, TE min minimally acceptable total error
