I-STAT hs-TnI proficiency testing

Hello,

We are in the process of validating the  istat high sensitivity troponin.

I’m looking at proficiency testing options.
We primarily use CAP surveys at our facility- but I don’t see one in the 2025 catalogue that looks like it will work for an I-stat.

Anyone else moving to this? What are your plans for proficiency testing?
I believe a correlation with our main lab instrument(high sensitivity as well) can cover it id necessary, but I’d feel better with a survey.

Hi McKenna,
We are enrolled with API and it is included in the Cardiac Markers (#140) which we currently use for our i-Stats.

Good morning, I reached out to API and was told their current cardiac markers program should be compatible with the new hs-TnI i-STAT cartridge, but when I questioned further, I was told they are still looking into this and should know more info once they review the current event statistics. They're supposed to follow back up with me. When I inquired with CAP, they simply stated they do not have any surveys compatible with the i-STAT 1 meter for hs-TnI "at this moment". Has anyone inquired with any other proficiency testing providers?

Thank you for that information, Joy, we will definitely follow up with API also.

Not sure if you have seen but CAP now has a POC hs-Trop survey available to order. It will ship in October but you need to put an order in I think by September.

Tracie,
I spoke with CAP this afternoon (before viewing this post) and they stated again that they do not offer a survey for the i-STAT hs-Troponin. Do you happen to know the survey name? Perhaps I may need to reach out to them again and speak to someone else. Thank you kindly! 

Hi Joy.  The survey is PCHT.2025. There will only be a C survey that comes out in October I think.
