At this time you can't put partially used cards back on the Vision. This is something to consider if you are a smaller/med size hospital or if you are planning to use Poly IgG/C3 cards for DATs. They are willing to give customers a credit for unused wells, so don't let that stop you from making a decision about using (or not using) the Vision for a specific card/test. We are told that you will be able to put partially used cards back on the analyzer with the next software upgrade, so time is TBA. There is also supposed to be a change in how long partially used cards can stay on the machine until they are "kicked off" - right now it is only 4 hours.
We are still validating, it has taken some time to get this set up for pediatrics and get the interface going with Sunquest.
