Hi Anthony,
The allocation for the Nudge have come through us as the POCT team but we are trying to work with Virology and at the minute the general feel is that we either extend Virology working hours and increase staff to cover 24/7 and put the Nudges in the lab or possibly we run a flu/covid hot lab and centralise our ID Now devices for flu and Nudges for Covid out in the hospital that would be staffed by trained POCT staff to cover the hours virology lab is not available, tests being allocated by the clinical matrons. The Nudges are no quicker than the system the lab is using for Covid and we don't really feel 90 minutes is a rapid test that would offer major advantages to using the lab, especially with the maintenance and what seems to be the failure rate .
Kind Regards

Dear All,
We have not been involved at all in any of this. The analysers are to be located in Microbiology and POCT have not been asked to get involved. We have been involved in the flu devices in recent years but were not aware Micro were planning to manage the DNANudge until this week. Is this the case in other Trusts? I know those that have posted are involved with the DNANudge but just wanted to know what was happening in general.
KR,
Mary

Hi All,
I would be most interested in this too as we have been allocated both DNANudge and Samba 2 for October.
Information and documents for both devices is proving hard to get our hands on.
Thanks,
