Temperature Monitoring for GEM 5000

We monitor and document the temp of the lab daily where the GEM analyzers are kept. It is mentioned in our IQCP under the "Environment" section. 
Unless I am understanding you incorrectly, the temp correction on values refers to the patient's body temp.

@Patricia, you are correct.  
We have been trying to document daily.  This responsibility is left on the department in which the instruments are located.  Right now we are having difficulty with compliance. I was hoping that we were over doing it with the temperature logging to help remove some burden from the department.  

Do you have an IQCP for GEM 5000?   

Yes we do, since we do not do QC daily. Our GEMS are located in the lab, so much easier to get those temps done daily!
I am guessing your GEMS are in a department other than lab? I can understand the compliance issue then! Non-lab people have a hard time with all of our "regulations". I have the same issue with many of my POC devices.

Our GEMs are located in the OR. 

I reached out to CAP when we implemented our GEM 5000 and some how they are actually exempted from needing an IQCP.  They have enough internal QC configurations I suppose.  Not that my team isn't still monitoring all the aspects, we just no longer do a formal report out.   

The temperature in the OR is tightly regulated and monitored by the facility management group.  If you can audit the temperature monitoring report and retrieve it during inspections (if requested), then POC staff don't need to monitor it.
