I would be interested to receive information from other users on how the assay is performing at present

 

I currently have significant concerns that the assay is not performing to specification and may not be suitable for designation as a contemporary troponin assay according to the Apple criteria. This is a worry as previously it was a borderline “sensitive” assay.

 

It would also appear that the current performance means it may not be suitable for rapid ED rule out of chest pain

 

Please reply directly to me

 

Best wishes
