But now there appears to be no one identified to do training or maintenance or calibration, so we're just working through those issues now...but yes trying to get under POC control.

If so what kind of input do you have? CO monitors have recently been discussed at our Trust medical devices committee meeting with queries around whether they were true POCT devices (e.g. no QC / EQA available so unable to comply with CPA) so was wondering if anyone else had experience with these monitors.
