After months of investment, research, development and trials, ADP Diagnostics in has successfully launched its new whole blood glucose quality control, a world first. The impact of this new product is significant, in that for the first time it enables clinicians and point of care specialists to use a quality control material for POC glucose testing, that is as close as possible to a patient sample.
The whole blood glucose quality control is supplied as a 2-level control x 3 vials of each level, vials are 2ml. The control is compatible with all major manufacturers’ Glucometers and instrument specific values are available. Once opened, the vials are stable for 4 months. Vials should be stored at 2-8C.
The new whole blood glucose control is of interest to any laboratory that implements a policy of continuous improvement in clinical excellence. Using this control also enables the laboratory to comply with ISO15189 guidelines which stipulate:
“The laboratory shall use quality control materials that react to the examining system in a manner as close as possible to patient samples. Quality control materials shall be periodically examined with a frequency that is based on the stability of the procedure and the risk of harm to the patient from an erroneous result.”
(Reference: ISO 15189:2012(E): 5.6.2.2 Quality control materials)
ADP Diagnostics has built a strong reputation for innovation and clinical excellence, having already launched a number of world first quality control products including a single vial Serum Indices Quality Control, and a Xanthochromia Quality Control. The company’s products are being used throughout Ireland, UK, and several other international markets. ADP Diagnostics has become a key supplier of niche quality control sera to a number of National Quality Assessment Schemes worldwide. The control is currently being used by Labquality Finland, one of Europe’s major EQA scheme organisers.
