Waived Creatinine testing for i-STAT

6 followers

We recently purchased an i-STAT for our outpatient imaging center for waived creatinine testing only.  I am trying to prepare for our go-live and wanting to work on preparing our policies and what I should expect for validation.  Does anyone have any policies they would be willing to share? Or what you all did for your validation process?  I know the testing is waived, but we will still need to do a validation.  We have not had i-STATs before so this is a totally new process.  We will be having Meditech perform our GFR calculations ones results are uploaded since the i-STAT does not perform the GFR calculation.  My email is aholland@catawbavalleymc.org if you would prefer to respond via email.  Thanks for any input!

For validation, we run QC, Calibration verification, meter to meter, if you have more than one, patient and method comparison. Follow manufacture's reference ranges.
