Possible Heparin Reactivity Issue Causing Discrepant ACT results in Cath Lab
3 followers
0 Likes
Our cardiologists have told us that the ACT results on the i-STAT are discrepant, but then mentioned that there was also a possible problem with the reactivity of the heparin being used nationwide. Of course, they couldn't tell us which patients were involved. We're having them document the lot number of heparin that is being used, in addition to notifying us when the situation occurs.
Has anyone heard of any problems with heparin reactivity or had any problem with discrepant ACT testing on the i-STAT recently?
Thanks!
Linda
