Q

NOTE: If we want to transfer a 5ml amount of fluid, we should use the pipette having a 5 ml amount of fluid; If we want to transfer 3 mL amount of fluid, it is much better to use (?) pipette instead of 10mL.

45
Q

either with we put soap, most of the time in serology lab, we are placing here are your NSS (Normal saline solution), to be easier to make red cell suspension

A

WASH BOTTLE

46
Q

Part of analytical phase of quality assurance; process of monitoring results from control samples to verify accuracy of patient results.

A

QUALITY CONTROL (QC)

47
Q

Note: is not performed for your equipment but also each process of the laboratory. It is important to verify the accuracy of the patients result that we are releasing.

A

QUALITY CONTROL (QC)

48
Q

Sample that is chemically & physically similar to unknown specimen & is tested in exactly the same manner.

A

CONTROL

49
Q

Monitors precision of test system.

A

CONTROL

50
Q

For nonwaived quantitative tests, CLIA requires at least 2 levels of controls each day test is performed. (See “Equivalent QC” below.)

A

CONTROL

51
Q

For qualitative tests, pos & neg controls must be included with each run.

A

CONTROL

52
Q

Before we ran patient sample, make sure that we have ran first the control. Never ever release a sample if you did not yet run the control.

A

CONTROL

53
Q

Not only applicable in chemistry, but also all the section of the laboratory that will be using a machine.

A

CONTROL

54
Q

Testing control material not built into test system. Term also used for QC that extends beyond lab, e.g., participation in proficiency testing program.

A

EXTERNAL QC

55
Q

DOH mandated that all laboratory should participate in

A

national external quality assurance scheme (NEQAS).

56
Q

Electronic, Internal, or procedural controls that are built into test system.
