Hi Clare,
I have had a reply from WEQAS stating the use of the blood gas EQA scheme - most people seem to be using that. However, I'll contact WEQAS today directly and will let you know.
RIQAS - I'm, still waiting for a reply, again I can let you know the outcome.
Thanks
Shaneela

Hi Shaneela,
I'm looking into a similar issue as we run lactate on our Olympus mainline automation and Siemens ABG devices (WEQAS ABG). We're looking to implement a handheld lactate device and presumed that we'd register with the RIQAS lactate scheme (mainline automation).
Have you spoken to RIQAS or WEQAS directly?
Kind regards,
Clare

Subject: Lactate EQA schemes
Hi everybody,
What EQA schemes do people use for POCT Lactate devices? I'm having a little trouble finding anything out there. If anyone is using a scheme how often are the samples and how much per year? (is it per year or per device?)
Many Thanks
