Excellent - welcome news. Is a revised chart to be produced and sent to
relevant organizations? The one on the RCPath website is still the old
version.

(and, at the risk of being thought a pedant, may I point out once again
that for TDM analytes these are not RRs. They are target ranges, which
are not the same!).

Dear All,
I don't know if you're aware but the Pathology Harmony RR for Digoxin
has been extended since it was announced in the ACB news. See below.

I can confirm that there has been an amendment to the digoxin RR.
The digoxin reference interval generated a lot of discussion and brought
forward many concerns. At the last Harmony Meeting held 10th May we
reviewed the proposed RR, and decided that we should extend the proposed
range to 0.5 - 2.0 ug/L. It was recommended that a mandatory comment
such "Target range in heart failure 0.5 - 1.0 ug/L" is added to the
report.
I hope this helps,
Best regards,
Deon
