Abbott ID Now COVID-19 Testing RALS Users

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
