We perform HR-ACT on Medtronic ACT Plus and ACT on Medtronic HMS, anyone knows if this two analyzer performs same ACT and can be correlated with each other in particular for Activated Clotting time. What correlation studies do other institutions perform if you have both of these analyzers? Thanks in advance.

We do a correlation between the ACT Plus and HMS ACT using the CAP cross check (CT1Q) and QC. We used to take an ACT Plus to the perfusion room to do the correlation but it is easier to use the cross check if you have multiple analyzers.
We also use the Medtronic Hepline kit to do an alternate proficiency test on the heparin assay cartridges on the HMS.
