Happy Friday!
I have an outpatient facility that recently placed a request for a POC device that performs waived potassium tests. Previously, they used the i-stat but it was pulled after the recall deeming it moderately complex. I did some research and it looks like the Picciolo Xpress Chemistry Analyzer would be my only waived POC option. Does anyone have any experience positive or negative that they can share for this device?

We use the Piccolo out at our Emergency Centers and they are good, however are very expensive and take a while for the results. Which iStat cartridge were you using?
