Radiometer's ABL90 FLEX and ABL800 FLEX analyzers on-board controls meet CLIA requirements

Radiometer's IQCP CLIA & CMS Clarification Press Release

April 25, 2016

PRESS RELEASE

Radiometer’s ABL90 FLEX and ABL800 FLEX on-board controls meet CLIA & CMS requirements

Brea, CA, April 20, 2016

Great news! The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) released a clarification on April 8, 2016 defining which on-board controls can be considered equivalent to external QC, which can be summarized as follows:

  1. Have a similar matrix to that of patient specimens
  2. Are treated in the same manner as patient specimens
  3. Go through all elements of the analytic process as applicable

 

We are proud to reconfirm our announcement from last year that both the ABL90 FLEX and ABL800 FLEX meet the above requirement.  These analyzers feature on-board control systems that use 3 or more levels of dedicated, NIST traceable QC material that tests the entire patient sample pathway, including the sample inlet, thus fulfilling the CLIA regulations for external quality control (Federal Register 493.1256c, 493.1267b, c).
