Hi Michelle
It sounds as though you have experience with this - I can see that the manufacturer (Werfen) gives a performance specification to cover those values, but we dont run QC at that level - wondering if you do? I notice that WEQAs circulate a sample with a value around 0.4 mmol/L so we have a degree of verification we can employ.
If you do have experience - could i pick your brains regarding any experience, positive or negative in setting up the protocol or ongoing issues.
My intention is that the clinical team keep a robust copy of results as calculating the parameters and amalgamating electronically is too difficult to achieve. There is some suggestion of using plain (non-heparin) syringes for the post filter (citrated) sample - has that been tried at your location?
Kind Regards and many thanks
John
