A SYSTEN ENSURING ACCURACY AND PRECISION
USED TO MONITOR THE ANALYTIC VARIATIONS THAT CAN OCCUR WITH A NEW INSTRUMENT OR WIITH NEW LOTS CONTROL
QUALITY CONTROL
MEASURE THE SMALLEST CONCENTRATION
SENSITIVITY
ABILITY TO MEASURE ONLY THE ANALYTE OF INTEREST
SPECIFICITY
CLOSENESS OF THE ASSAYED VALUE TO THE TRUE VALUE.
ACCURACY
ABILITY TO GIVE REPEATED RESULTS ON THE SAME SAMPLE THAT AGREE WUT ONE ANOTHER
PRECISION/REPRODUCIBILITY
REFERS TO THE ABILITY OF LABORATORY TESTING TO MAINTAIN ACCURACY AND PRECISON OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
RELIABILITY
ABILITY TO DETECT PROPORTION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH THAT DISEASE
DX SENSITIVITY
ABILITY TO DETECT THE PROPORTION OF INDIVIDUAL WITH THE DISEASE
DX SPECIFICITY
DETERMINES THE LOWEST AND HIGHEST VALUES THAT CAN BE ACCURATELY MEASURED BY A PARTICULAR METHOD
LINEARITY CHECK
ANALYTES CONTROL WITH PATIENT SAMPLE.
CONTROL MATERIAL IS LYOPHILIZED OR LIQUID MATERIALS THAT HAVE THE SAME MATRIX
INTRALAB
FOR LONG TERM ACCURACY
INTERLAB QC
A QUALITY PROGRAM IN WHICH SPECIMEN ARE SUBMITTED TO LABORATORY FOR ANALYSIS AND THE RESULTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL LABORATORY ARE COMPARED WITH THE RESULTS FOR THE GROUP OF PARTICIPATING LABORATORY
EXTERNAL QUALITY ASSESSMENT
SPECIMENS THAT HAVEKNOWN CONCENTRATION OF AN ANALYTE FOR THE OF INTEREST. TEH TETSIONG LABORATORY DOES NOT KNWO THE TARGETD CONCENTRATION WHEN TESTD
PROFICIENCY SAMPLE
TYPE OF ERROR: DUE TO CHANCE
ARISES FROM UNPREDICTABLE VARIATIONS OF INFLUENCE QUANTITIES
ERROR THAT DOESN’T RECUR IN REGULAR PATTERN AFFECT PRECISION
RANDOM ERROR
TYPE OF ERROR: CONSISTENT IN ONE DIRECTION OR VARIES IN PREDICTABLE WAY
RECURRING ERROR INHERINT IN TEST PROCEDURE
SYSTEMATIC ERROR
TYPE OF ERROR: HANDWRITTEN LABELS AND REQUEST FORMS
CLERICAL ERROR
TYPE OF ERROR: INDICATED BY SHIFT OR TREND IN LEVEY JENNINGS
SYSTEMATIC ERROR
THE SCIENCE OF GATHERING, ANALYZING, INTERPRETING AND PRESENTING DATA
