POC Lead testing

Is anyone performing POC Lead testing at your facility? We are all of a sudden having a terrible time with LabCorp saying our specimens are clotted but the HH test comes back just fine.
Any suggestions?

We have the Meridian BioScience Leadcare II analyzer in our pediatric clinics and a couple of our Family Med clinics are just coming onboard with them.  They seem to work great and it sure is better than a venipuncture for the little ones!  

We also use the Leadcare II. Had some issues with recalls but as of now is working fine.

We also use the Leadcare II, and have not had any issues. We also use the Hemocue DM for hemoglobin testing since you can use the same finger stick sample. 

We also have LeadCare II at our clinics.  Knock on wood they are doing pretty well and the sites utilize them alot.

Our LeadCare II instruments are used across our system. It is a good screen and helps keep compliance with those provider concerns for patient follow up to venipuncture. Even though they are not interfacable, we set up automatic state reporting through Epic. Works well for us.
