Hello,
Abbott iSTAT does not have a recommendation for running lot to lot comparison for new shipment of QC. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Cynthia

We run QC, in duplicate, on a lot of cartridges that had acceptable QC via the old lot of control solutions.
I've also seen a comment on this site that as long as your QC falls within the expected range you can consider the controls "verified". If you're really worried about it you can always ask your accrediting agency for clarification or direction.
Hi Cynthia,
We do lot to lot on the cartridges but not the QC on the Istat. For the QC we run it when we receive it and if it's within the reported ranges we put it in use for the units. I don't know of anywhere where it's required to perform lot to lot on the QC but if you find that please share.
Thank you - I really appreciate your replies!
