Hemaprompt for Fecal and Gastric use

Our nursing staff is using the Hemaprompt Fecal/Gastric kit which is waived with an internal control; my question is does anyone have external controls that they use for the Hemaprompt?  We are new to CAP for POC and I am wondering how just internal QC will work since we do not perform external QC.  Thoughts any one else doing Hemaprompts.  I would love any feedback.
Thanks.

You can use the urinalysis control “Quantiy” from Biorad.

We do not run any external controls; we use the internal controls provided within the test itself

Re; using a urinalysis control for a FOB test - most QC products specify under Intended Use what they can be used for.  Does the Biorad product say you can do that?  I am looking at the IFU for a Quantimetrix QC product and it specifies UA reagent strips, confirmatory tests such as Ictotest or K-CHECK or hCG methods.

Unfortunately, since the CAMCO company stopped manufacturing their external QC product specifically for guaiac-based a few years ago, there really isn't anything out there that I am aware of.  I have seen some opt to use previously-tested CAP PT samples.
