Total hemoglobin Comparison: Struggling to meet 4% cut off between Avoximeter and Hematology analyzer
Hi Everyone,
I'm reaching out to ask how others are managing total hemoglobin comparisons between devices. Specifically, I'm struggling to get the tHb values from the Avoximeter to fall within 4% (2025 CAP Acceptability criteria) when compared to our lab Hematology analyzer using lavender top specimen.
Any insights or experience on your instrument comparisons with the Avoximeter 1000E would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Proficiency Testing for Waived Testing
Hi Everyone!
We are looking at doing proficiency testing or blind samples on some of our waived testing (i.e., HbA1c). Has anyone ever done this sort of thing for waived testing? If so, can you share your experience?

- What went well?
- What did your system struggle with?
- Did you go through CAP, somewhere else or did you do some other kind of blind sample?
- Would you recommend it or recommend against it?
- Any other information you can...
