ACT Unknown Testing

How does your organization take care of ACT Unknown Testing for competency purposes. The QC vials are currently on backorder/low on stock and they are so finnicky to begin with. An employee can be performing it correctly and still not get within range.

Ideas?
Thoughts?

Thank you.

CAP offers competency challenges. I have not used them, but came across them when looking for other POC competency samples.

We currently have the ACT crosscheck, but I didn't realize there was competency challenges. Thank you.

You might be able to use the old Hemochron Response QC material (part # QCACT), level 1, and run them as a patient sample.  You will need to establish your acceptable range.
