Q

ACCURACY can be measured in 3 ways

A

(RIC)

Recovery study
Interference method
Comparison of methods of study

17
Q

● Patient sample is added concentrated analyte of interest
● Accurate machine → INCREASED RESULT even if sample has other analytes present

A

Recovery study

18
Q

Interfering substances REFLECT/ABSORB light and REACT with reagents.
● Accurate Machine → Machine WON’T CHANGE RESULTS with the presence of interfering substances

A

INTERFERENCE STUDY

19
Q

Gold standard method

A

HPLC

20
Q

Accurate Machine → If lab result (recovery study) is CLOSE to gold standard (interference study) result

A

COMPARISON OF METHODS OF STUDY
