Milk analysis using milk analyzers in a standardized setting (MAMAS) study: A multicentre quality initiative

Abstract

The variations in measurements between devices are clinically significant and would impact both daily dietary prescriptions, and the outcomes of clinical studies assessing the effect of targeted adjustment of nutrient intake in preterm babies. This study shows that it is crucial to follow GCLP when using milk analyzers to ensure proper measurement of macronutrients, similar to what is required of other medical devices.
