Hi, our lab is moving forward with this test. Any of you know how to validate? Do you validate the docks, the cassettes, both?  How many samples, 40? This is a PCR waived test under the emergency authorization from FDA. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Vivian

We were told by our state CLIA surveyors to validate with 5 negative and 5 positive samples.  Since it is waived and under emergency authorization, the usual validation studies are not necessary.  We run external controls for each new lot and/or monthly.  

Thanks!

We're looking for molecular testing for our per-registered patients but are worried about supply shortages. Has Mesa mentioned anything about supply shortages for the Accula?
