Dear all,
Am being ask to assess whether our Blood gas analysers are in locations that meet the National Standard recommendations for POCT.
Other than referring to the ISO standards 15189 and 22870 in relation to POCT - what other health and safety guidance should I be reviewing in relation to this?
Is anyone aware of specific stipulations in regards to sink access for example?
Any support appreciated.
Thanks
Katy
