The evaluation of a novel conductometric device for the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis

Abstract: Our experience suggests that the prototype microflow cell conductometric device cannot be used for the diagnosis of CF due to the high false negative rate. As a consequence of this study, the manufacturers have implemented a pre-testing system to quality control the sensors prior to issue.

“…So far, only one study comparing the Nanoduct® system with a quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis has been published [18]. In this study, Nanoduct® produced a false negative result in nine of the 36 classical CF patients.…”

“…These key indicators evaluated the methods for collection (Q 10, 11, 14) and analysis of sweat samples (Q 16) as well as the reference analytical ranges (Q 19). Other data were recorded such as information provided to patients/parents (Q 5, 6) quality assurance (Q 2, 3,4,8,9,12,13,17,18), responsibility for testing and interpretation of results (Q 1, 7, 15, 20). All Centres applied the GibsonCooke method (quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis) as previously reported [1].…”

“…Based on the CF diagnostic algorithm the assessment of the sweat chloride concentration is the analysis of choice even in respect to genotype, particularly when the confirmation of CF diagnosis is mandatory in those patients presenting with "atypical CF" or CF related disorders. For this reason a much greater need to standardize the collection and analysis of sweat has clearly been expressed by several papers in the last few years [6,7,8,9].…”

“…Outros estudos sugerem que a taxa de falha com a coleta feita com o Macroduct ® é mais alta, especialmente nos primeiros meses de vida, e que a taxa de sucesso é mais alta com o sistema clássico 6,7 . Uma tentativa de aumentar a taxa de sucesso foi realizada com o método Nanoduct ® , o qual estimula, coleta e analisa o suor em uma única etapa enquanto os sensores de eletrólitos e de condutividade estão ligados ao paciente 13,14 : o procedimento dura 15 minutos e exige pelo menos 3 microlitros de suor. Além disso, esse teste teve exatidão diagnóstica aceitável, embora as primeiras tentativas tenham sido decepcionantes devido à taxa excessivamente alta de resultados falso-negativos e à baixa taxa de sucesso 13 .…”

Contudo, esse método também tem limitações práticas importantes em recém-nascidos e lactentes, e ainda não se têm dados sistemáticos obtidos de ambientes clínicos especializados.…”
