Hi all,
We are planning to implement the Abbott ID NOW for COVID-19 in POCT in our surgery centers and hospital sites. We are RALS users and I have a few Qs:
I was wondering if anyone is using the RALS Manual Test Entry (MTE) function to result the test. Pro & Cons?
If you have it interfaced to RALS any pros or cons on that to share?
If you are using this in a hospital setting are the RNs performing it on their units or is it sent to the lab?
If the testing is done on the nursing unit/surgery center what are you requirements for the space where the test is performed & PPE? ( hood, splatter shield, face shield goggles, gown etc)
Thanks in advance,
Dianne
