Can Surgical Technologists perform Moderate Complexity Testing at the POC

Under Florida law, can Certified Surgical Technologists perform moderate complexity testing (eg. Activated Clotting Time) *at an alternate-site location (ie. Surgical Services dept) if training and competency assessment are completed? These individuals are certified by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting but certification is voluntary. Note: Florida does not require licensure or certification for Surgical Technologists.
