CAP has an i-STAT EQA. That is the only one of which I am aware. Chris Budgen (Mr) POCT Coordinator Canterbury Health Laboratories Christchurch New Zealand Internal ext. 81850 DDI: 03 364 1850 Cell phone: 025 973 645 email: [log in to unmask] =========================== >>> [log in to unmask] 27/08/02 20:16:41 >>> Does anyone have experience with monitoring IQC and EQA on i-Stats in POCT areas? And if so, what EQA programmes are you registered with? We are currently registered on the RIQAS clinical chemistry scheme (for Na, K, Cl, Urea and Glucose) on i-Stats in our Medium Security Infections Disease Unit but are having problems comparing our performance as there are no other i-Stat users registered in the scheme. I have also enquired with NEQAS about their general chemistry scheme but have found there are no i-Stat users registered on their scheme either at the moment.
