Fig. 5: Performance of this device for RBCs deformability monitoring.

a Scatter dot plot of RBCs deformability based on this system and the laser diffraction method (mean with SD). b Bland–Altman analysis to compare the results obtained by the finger-pressing method and the laser diffraction method. The red dashed line is the mean difference of the methods, and the gray dashed lines represent the 95% LOAs. c The mountain plot analysis computed a percentile for each ranked difference between the laser diffraction method and the finger-pressing method for cell deformability, the vertical red dashed line represents the center of the mountain, and the horizontal red dotted line represents the 5th to 95th percentile
