iSTAT Cartridge lot to lot
Hello Everyone!
I wanted to see if anyone will share what y'all are doing with the new cartridge lot to lot. Now that the iSTATs are changed to an analyzer and QC needs to be performed on each analyzer, I want to confirm my thoughts that we need to do the lot to lot on every iSTAT also?
