Hey y'all! Our lab will be getting new Roche chemistry analyzers in the next year or two and me and some other techs were wondering where and how long key operator training is.
Also does Roche use a middleware/interface for Epic? We will be switching to Epic around the same time as well. Currently on Beckman Coulter DxC 600/660i and DxH 800s with DxOne.

Back when we got our cobas analyzers, they flew us out to Pleasanton, CA for a 3 day training session. But that was around 2015.
We had FSEs from Roche come in to train us on our Cobas 8800, it didn’t take more than 2 days.
We’re supposed to transition to Epic next year too but as of right now we do have Roche set up through LIS.
Do you got trained in 2 days? Who did your validation studies? How long after training did you guys go live?
We use Roche's middleware Infinity and then once it's verified from there it autoverifies in Epic. All QC through Infinity too. We have DxH and that is interfaced straight to Epic but sometimes looking at the analyzer interface is useful for the histograms/scattergrams.
we had roche trainers come to our lab for a week, and it was a great experience. looking forward to the new analyzers and the transition to epic!
Who did your validation studies? Does Roche do it all or did you have to do that?
we got Roche training at our lab too, but it was only a couple of days and the FSEs were great. excited to see how it integrates with Epic.
We are sponsored by Roche to fly to Indiannapolis for one week training. The facility was very nice.
