EPOC QC

We utilize the EPOC instruments at our facility and we now have 12 instruments. According to Siemens, QC only needs to be performed in duplicate when we receive a new lot# or shipment of Epoc cards. At the present time, we are running monthly QC on all twelve of our EPOC instruments according to our IQCP. This is getting way too expensive. What type of study would I need to do to eliminate the monthly QC and revise our IQCP plan?
