Chlorhexidine Wipes - interference for ACT testing?

Has anyone seen any falsely high ACT values on the Abbott iSTAT when using chlorhexidine gluconate (Chloraprep) to cleanse the area before sample collection?  We found a statement regarding chlorhexidine as an interference for PT/INR testing but did not find this statement for ACT.
