We send out to all our Trust sites
(approximately 90), we send Glucose EQA bi-monthly, the months we do not send
glucose EQA we send Urine EQA to about 60 sites (we have Bayer Status'
on each ward), and we also send urine HCG EQA to about 10 of these sites on a
monthly basis.
We do not report either to WEQAS, but
collate our own data, otherwise it would be a full time job returning the data
to WEQAS. (WEQAS do not like this but it seems to be what most users do, or
they send back a mean result for all users).
As far as I am aware there is no official guidance,
but asking nursing staff to do EQA too frequently is likely to be
counter-productive.

Subject: EQA of glucometers
For
those involved in glucometer EQA in their Trust, can I take a straw poll of how
many and how often you distribute samples? If you reply to me I'll collate and
post a summary back on the mailbase. Anyone aware of any official guidance on
frequency?
Thanks
