Objectives of Quality Control:

A

❑1. To check the stability of the machine.
❑2. To check the quality of reagents.
❑3. To check technical (operator) errors.

38
Q

The accuracy of any assay depends on the control
solutions, how they are originally constituted and how
they remain stable overtime.
* General chemistry assays used 2 levels of control
solutions, while immunoassays used 3 levels.
* To establish statistical quality control on a new
instrument or on new lot numbers of control materials,
the different levels of control material must be
analyzed for 20 days.
* For highly précised assays (with CV less than 1%) such
as blood gases, analysis for 5 days is adequate.

  • Are errors encountered in the collection,
    preparation and measurement of samples,
    including transcription and releasing of
    laboratory results.
A

VARIATIONS

47
Q
  • It is present in all measurements; it
    is due to chance.
  • It is a type of error which varies from sample to sample
  • It is the basis for varying differences between
    repeated measurements - variations in technique.
  • It is due to instrument, operator and environmental
    conditions (variations in techniques) such as
    pipetting error, mislabeling of samples,
    temperature fluctuation, and improper mixing of
    sample and reagent. - PRECISION
A
  1. Random Error
48
Q
  • It is an error that influences observations consistently in one
    direction (constant difference).
  • It is detected as either positive or negative bias - often
    related to calibration problems, deterioration of reagents
    and control materials, improperly made standard
    solutions, contaminated solutions, unstable and
    inadequate reagent blanks, leaky ion selective electrode
    (ISE), failing instrumentation and poorly written
    procedures.
  • It is a measure of the agreement between the measured
    quantity and the true value- ACCURACY
A
  1. Systematic Error
49
Q

b. Proportional/Slope/Percent Error

50
Q
  • it refers to a difference between the target value and
    the assayed value.
    ✓ it is independent of sample concentration.
    ✓ it exists when there is a continual difference between the comparative
    ✓ method and the test method regardless of the concentration.
A

❑ a. Constant Error

51
Q
  • it results in greater deviation
    from the target value due to higher sample concentration.

54
Q
  • It is based on the quantity of error that will negatively affect
    clinical decisions.
  • The total error (random, proportional, constant and
    systematic error) must be less than the E. or fixed limits for a
    method to be considered acceptable.
  • The determination of whether long-term precision is
    sufficient is based on the total imprecision being less
    than 1/3 of the allowable error.Allowable Error (E.)
  • It is based on the quantity of error that will negatively affect
