Our surgery is using the the Medtronic HMS plus to report the heparina dose response and heparin assay- 
What are people using for Proficiency testing/an alternative assessment for these tests? I can’t seem to find the right thing to order.

We've been using the calibration kit (Medtronic Hepline kit) to make three samples per challenge that are blind to the staff.  It has worked well for years, and has passed multiple CAP inspections.

Hi Max- I too share Mckenna's problem with finding acceptable Medtronic PT samples. Do you run the HDR cartridge with your Hepline Kit samples? If yes, would you mind explaining your process a bit further? Thank you!
