We too are carrying out the evaluation for the same purpose. It is something we are happy to support and are currently verifying it against our lab results. Our concern was the fact the Piccolo will be moved from site to site so we are looking at the robustness of the system for this purpose as well.

Subject: piccolo analyser for donor organ retrieval
Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help share their experiences with the piccolo device - particularly interested in anyone based in Cambridge/Edinburgh who are involved in the organ retrieval service. Our transplant team wish to use this for a novel donor organ retrieval process that involves 2h extracorporeal circulation prior to retrieval. This is where the device will be used - mainly to look at trends. Unlike usual blood samples, these samples will be diluted with crystalloids, colloids, anti-inflammatories and various anti-biotics. Therefore hct usually 20-25% and often a delay or rejection of laboratory samples.
Clearly a great indication but will carry difficulties with a device evaluation!
Best wishes,
Helen (SpR Chem Path, UHW, Cardiff)
