For those of you who provide a calculated Hemoglobin result on the i-Stat or Epoc, do you include a statement in the policy stating blood transfusion decisions should not be solely made from the this result due to the limitations of this test?
Thoughts greatly appreciated!

NOTE: Hemoglobin results obtained by EPOC analyzer are calculated using a measured HCT and should not be used for transfusion decisions. For low results an EDTA specimen should be sent to lab for confirmation.
