Hemochron Instrument to Instrument Comparison

Hello all! I'm new to this platform and still learning how to navigate the website. My question is, we have the hemochron sig elites and I know it differs from hospital to hospital, but I was wondering how much is the difference being determined at your facilities? Are you guys using % differences? Or determining the mean? Or using any other method of determining pass/fail? 
Any information would help thank you!

If you are asking about total allowable error for ACT, we use 20%. 
20% is also listed on the Data Innovations page:

Appreciate it!

We use Hemochron for INR testing.  Here's our allowable tolerance:
 Absolute Difference for INR <2.0 =  ±0.4
 % Error =±20.0%
 Mean INR >2.0 = ±0.4 INR
 Mean INR >3.0 = ±0.8 INR
 Mean INR >4.0 = ±1.2 INR

We use ACT on our Sig Elites with a 20% TAE, same as Gloria.

Thank you all for your help!

I need a link to some reference material for the 20%.  besides data innovations.  I appreciate any help.
