Functional sensitivity

This is the lowest level the device can measure plus 2 standard deviations.  This is determined by the lowest analyte concentration where %CV is acceptable, typically when the CVC is less than 20%.  When used, this is usually the lowest part of the assay range that a result can be reported.
