We have a lactic acid that will reflex to 3 hours after the initial draw.....for example: If draw a lactic at 1120 am and it is > 2.0 the computer system will automatically re-order one for 1420. Now if we complete all the fluids prior to the 1420 lab draw then we just redraw it early. It has really helped us not missing our repeat lactic.
