Clinitek Status + Overcalling Blood?
Hi All!
Wondering if anyone is noticing a high rate of Trace - Intact and Trace - Lysed Blood results from the Clinitek Status +. We had a complaint filed from one site, and in evaluating results across all of my sites, noticed that around 17% of the results include a Blood value of Trace - Intact or Trace - Lysed. The IFU includes the statement that the significance of Trace may vary among patients, and we're currently going to put together an education campaign to ensure the t...

Besat practice for epoc usage
Hello,
I am reaching out to see if anyone has a written policy about "best practice" or "epoc usage". We are looking for direction to give to our epoc users.
