The Laboratory Formulary Committee regularly sends out emails with new updates and changes. ANA Specificity Testing Change: Starting April 30th, 2026, the Immunology Laboratory at Upstate will be updating the ANA Specificity (LAB2800) assay to include additional antibody specificities. Additionally, the reporting format will be updated to include interpretation aids in the comments of each analyte testing result. Please see the attached guidance for more details. TEG Viewer access update: Following an updated security review, all appropriate providers should now have access to the TEG Viewer software to review TEG testing in real time (TEG Bleeding Risk (LAB12367) and TEG Anti-Platelet Tx (LAB9687)). Previously, not all providers were able to access this application. The attached guidance gives more details and step-by-step instructions to access this application.
