GEM100 New Device

Good morning all! We are currently embarking on updating from the Hemochron Sig Elites to the GEM100s. I have a few questions for other POCCs out there.
In your policies and procedures, how do you work through the < or > results requiring a repeat? We use Telcor for our interface and I was thinking we could navigate through there.
Do you have any information in your training or procedure on timing for testing? We have heard about testing at 3 to 5 minutes post bolus.
Is anyone willing to share their procedure with me?
Is anyone willing to share their IQCP with me?
Does anyone have any advice on using wifi over the ethernet?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Generally, if we see an out of range high result, we get confirmation from the operator as to whether or not the test is a true >400 (or 1005) result. All results that are flagged with a > or < are held for review and not uploaded without confirming. Typically, though, if they get a < below device range result, we see a repeat soon after and do not upload the < below device range result.
We had major connectivity issues when our HIS upgraded the WiFi and it was not compatible with the GEM100s. It took a year and a half (not kidding!) to finally remedy the problem. The solution was multiple Cisco upgrades/tweaks and a software update on the devices themselves. In the meantime, we had to take devices to where they'd pick up a signal and manually download them. They are now back to (mostly) autosending the results in real time. We resisted the temptation to go back to being wired-- after all, the wireless feature was a selling point, right?
Let me know if you still need a procedure or IQCP, I would be willing to share.

We are bringing these up right now as our old Medtronic ACTPlus analyzers have officially gone to the analyzer graveyard.
Thank you!
