Dear POCT brains,
Anyone willing to share an evaluation protocol for blood gas machines?
We are currently cartridge based - but I feel that we do so much reactive troubleshooting it may well be equivalent to proactive maintenance on a non-cartridge system. And at least maintenance can be scheduled.
Opinions?
For those with non-cartridge based systems - could you give me an idea of how much time POCT staff spend doing scheduled maintenance, and how much un-scheduled maintenance and downtime there is?
thanks
Katy
