Triage Meter vs. i-STAT for Trops and BNPS

Hello Everyone
Looking at both the Quidel Triage Meter and i-STAT for performing Trops and BNPS.  Testing would be a back-up for our main chemistry analyzer.  Do you use IQCPs and if so how often are you running QC?  Any insight would be appreciated! Thank you

Quidel Triage Troponin I was just recalled due to reports of falsely low results. We are validating troponin on the i-STAT to use as a backup to our chemistry analyzer. We haven't determined the QC frequency yet.

Thank you for the information regarding the Triage!

Hi Amanda,
I have worked with both and if you develop an IQCP, you need to run device QC every day for Triage and simulator for i-stat but as far as external liquid QC , it will be required once per month, once per shipment, once per new lot, and once per new operator.
I did not use BNP on i-stat only troponin, but I have used Triage for both trop and BNP. 
  BNP on Triage if you use EDTA whole blood is classified as waived. 
Good luck, 
Ellie
