POCT Mod-Complex Cal Ver/AMR on multiple devices

Is anyone familiar with an allowance within the CAP standard for moderately-complex testing with regard to calibration verification/AMR verification that allows for only verifying a subset of analyzers as opposed to every single testing device (e.g., iSTAT)? I do not see such an allowance in the CAP checklist, but maybe I'm missing something.
I know that years ago there was an allowance for subset-only testing when cal ver was still required for waived testing (e.g., glucose meters), but I don't recall ever seeing the same allowance for subset testing with regard to mod-complex devices.

Using one lot of Cal ver for one instrument test method (say HMS Plus) and a different lot number for a different instrument (say AVOX and ABL90) is acceptable for the individual test method calibration verifications. If your Calibration Verifications are also used for method correlation, the suggestion would be to use the same lot number for all test methods. Like for Like.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
