Additional Comments

Troponin T (semi-qualitative) on Roche Instruments. Participants using the Roche Cardiac Reader should enrol in the General Serum Chemistry Program. Participants using Roche Cobas h232 instruments should enrol in the PoCT Troponin Program. This is due to the different cut-offs, standardisation and units for these 2 instruments
