Help! Our hospital has been using the epoc Green cards for a few years now. We have been evaluation our QC data on the Eurotrol website using Cue See online. It's a neat program but....  Now we are validating the Orange cards. These are the test cards that include BUN and measure CO2. It seems that Eurotrol doesn't account for these new tests in their Cue See program.

How do you evaluate your QC data for monthly evaluation and peer group evaluation if you are not using Eurotrol?

I'm not aware of any other QC material that is made for the EPOCs. The Eurotrol have the TCO2 and BUN in them. 
In looking at the gas CalVer in the Siemens' Document library under the EVADs. the TCO2 and BUN values are on the second page of values.  Easy to miss if you scroll too fast.   
We haven't validated these cards yet, but will be soon.  Here's a screenshot of an example, I hope this helps.

We did catch the information on the eVad sheets, but when we go to enter the results in the QC program, Cue See (Eurotrols evaluation program), the sections for TCO2 and BUN are not available for input of data. BUN is, but only on certain lots and not all of the lot numbers. We have yet to find a QC lot that will accept TCO2 data.

I'm not familiar with the CueSee program.  Maybe you have to manually add the tests into the program?  Is there a customer service line you could call? It seems like a program issue. We learned that we can't add the orange cards until we upgrade our RALS system, because the version we are using doesn't support those tests. This could be something similar.
