Commutability of a Whole-Blood External Quality Assessment Material for Point-of-Care C-Reactive Protein, Glucose, and Hemoglobin Testing [Point-of-Care Testing]

CONCLUSIONS: Noklus EQA participants using CRP and hemoglobin POC instruments now receive results that are compared with a reference target value, whereas the results for participants using glucose POC instruments are still compared with method-specific target values. Systematic deviations from a reference target value for the commutable glucose POC instruments can be calculated, and this additional information can now be offered to these participants and to the manufacturers.
