The Nova Statstrip (NSS) Lactate meter has been in use in NH since September 2020. It is used in the maternity wards at UHNBC and Ft. St. John Hospital to perform fetal scalp lactate measurements. Since implementation, there has been provincially noted fluctuations in both the bias and precision of the NSS Lactate meter.
