HbA1c control, 9/13

Streck’s A1c-Cellular Linearity, an HbA1c linearity/calibration verification material with intact red blood cells, is now assayed for Roche Diagnostics’ Cobas c 311. It is a five-level assayed linearity material used to assess instrument accuracy and verify the patient reportable range of the HbA1c parameter. The product does not require reconstitution, which reduces the potential for human errors and saves time. The linearity material tests the entire reportable range of the instrument system, including the lyse step. Instrument-specific target values and

App for preventing preanalytical errors in blood gas testing, 9/13

Radiometer America offers its “Avoid Errors” application for the iPhone. The app allows users to identify typical preanalytical errors in blood gas testing. The content of the “Avoid Errors” application is threefold, with tips on how to prevent errors, a troubleshooting section, and a skill test. A handbook section in the app contains videos that show how to properly collect a blood gas sample by arterial puncture, through an arterial line, or by capillary sampling. The handbook also describes several
