Criteria for new and replacement iSTAT's
iSTAT users--What do you do for acceptance of new or replacement analyzers?
My biggest question is what are your criteria for precision studies? If I go by the chart from the iSTAT manual, QC section (14), pg 9 (14-9) we just had 7 out of 10 fail for HCT on level 1. This was from running the QC in duplicate for 2 days, so only 4 values to evaluate, sprinkle in a few PCO2/pH issues. We like to do precision first before we invest time and money in cal ver and pt correlation...

Said: I have seen a mixed bag of responses to this issue - some facilities go to the trouble of differentiating arterial from venous samples and assigning a separate reference range, but just as many if not more, do not. I don't think t...
ABL90 Flex- Venous Lactate vs Arterial Lactate Testing
Hello Everyone,
I just want to ask if someone uses Arterial Lactate Testing using the ABL90 Flex? Our ICU wants one, but I just want to see if there's bias in doing venous vs. arterial testing. Any input is appreciated. Thank you!
