External iSTAT Liquid QC frequency

Hi everyone,
I wanted know how everyone's liquid QC is set up for their iSTAT. The cartridges we use here are CG4, CG8, & ACT - we QC every shipment, every lot. Then every lot monthly.
I checked the IFU's and confirmed with our Abbott that there is nothing from them that says we have to QC monthly after our initial QC.
I would like to transition to running liquid controls on each cartridge type, but not every lot we have in the hospital.
Or is everyone here still running liquid QC every month, on every lot when there is nothing from manufacture? (I found an old discussion from 2021)
Thanks,
Andy

You can check with you lab or hospital accreditation requirements when manufacture does not have define criteria for liquid QC.
We are accredited by CAP and we follow below requirements for iSTAT liquid quality control, we perform QC for any new shipment, new lot and Monthly as per our IQCP.
