Signature Elite to Hemochron 100 conversion

Hi there. We have recently completed our transition from the Hemochron Sig Elites to the GEM100s. While we did not see a negative bias with the ACT+, we did observe a negative bias on our ACT-LR. 

Our method comparison for LR showed an -11.7 (-4.3%) bias for the Sig Elites. It is enough bias to be aware of but not necessarily concerned with. For instance: if the target value is 250 second result using the Sig Elites, then this would show a 260 second result on the GEM100.  Will this impact patient care?  Would a provider change course between the 250 and 260 result for ACT? That is the question for your medical director. 

Good luck!
