There are 3 ways to validate a pneumatic tube system
Traditional
Traditional validation requires sending 3-4 blood samples per line through a PTS line and comparing sample quality to a control group that was manually walked to the lab.
Accurate
Accurate validation represents the resources required to obtain validation results that support statistically significant decision making. This requires a minimum of 200 blood samples per line. Read More
VitalQC uses a surrogate blood sample (VitalVial) that is sent through a PTS line to collect data pertaining to the transport conditions of that line (i.e, speed, temperature, vibration), eliminating the need to validate using blood samples. Read More
An Efficient Way to Validate
VitalQC eliminates the need for blood donors, lab tests, manual data entry/analysis, and pre-validation planning allowing labs to validate nearly 8 times faster than traditional blood-based approaches and 275 times faster than a statistically significant blood-based validation.
A Cost-Effective Solution
The cost of a traditional blood-based validation exceeds $20,000. Likewise, a statistically significant blood-based validation could cost as much as $660,000 USD.
VitalQC eliminates most of the costs associated with blood-based validation resulting in substantial time and cost savings.
