HMS phasing out - literature suggestions
Hi all.
With Medtronic phasing out of their ACT and HMS platforms, we are looking at bringing in the Hemochron for ACT testing. These do not cover the same kind of testing that was performed with the HMS, but I don't think that will be an option anymore with other POCT analyzers? Does any one have any literature saved to help the surgeons understand the shift away from HMS to only using ACT results?
Thank you in advance for any advice!

Specimen type for CAP Alternative Assessment

The lab is the "gold standard"/ primary method, so POC can't report the same analytes to CAP. The current method established here is performing an alternative assessment by method comparison, using patient samples.
I contacted CAP and their response was "If the laboratory (under one CLIA license) uses multiple methods for an analyte, profic...

Said: Hi Darla, I think you need to come up with a verification plan for new instruments that you bring on (since you already have the method comparison complete for the epoc test method) and have it approved by the laboratory director. If yo...
