Improving Laboratory Performance Through Quality Control - Five Simple Steps for QC Success.
It is easy to get caught up in an abundance of QC statistics and forget the fundamental reason why
QC exists in the first instance. QC is about detecting errors and ensuring that the results you
produce are accurate and reliable. All QC procedures should focus on reducing the risk of harm
to the patient. We are not examining statistics; we are examining real patients, real results and real
lives. Around 70% of all medical decisions are based on laboratory results, which is why it is of
utmost importance that each and every laboratory, has a well-designed QC procedure in place.
QC Multi-rules are designed and used to minimise false rejections and maintain a high rate of error detection. There are six main rules used to determine if results from a run of patient samples should be accepted or rejected, based on the performance of control materials against the rule criteria. Different combinations can be applied depending on the number of controls in use, total allowable error and the instrument in use. The flow chart below is often used to determine if a run should be accepted or rejected.
This document discusses linearity verification materials from Randox. It provides an overview of the product portfolio, which includes solutions for assessing linearity of cardiac markers, specific proteins, and therapeutic drugs on various analyzer platforms. The linearity materials are supplied in a liquid ready-to-use format for convenience.

This document describes a human liquid ready-to-use stable multi-analyte control containing 27 different analytes including antibody isotypes, complement components, and other specific proteins. It reports that the control material has an open vial stability of 30 days when stored between 2-8 degrees Celsius and a shelf life stability of at least 2 years under the same storage conditions based on measurements on various automated systems. The control is concluded to be a convenient ready-to-use material for clinical applications that standardizes the test menu and reduces errors.
Monitoring External Quality Assessment / Proficiency Testing Performance - Investigating the source of the problem.
In order to identify the source of the problem it is useful to be aware of the most common causes of poor EQA performance. Errors can occur at any
stage of the testing process however EQA is most concerned with detecting analytical errors i.e. errors that occur during the analysis of the sample.
Most analytical errors can be easily divided into three main areas; clerical errors, systematic errors and random errors. Systematic errors result in
inaccurate results that consistently show a positive or negative bias. Random errors on the other hand affect precision and result in fluctuations in
either direction.

Quality Control for Point of Care Testing - White PaperRandox
Point of care testing (POCT) refers to testing that is performed near or at the site of a patient with the result leading to a possible change in the care of the patient. Over the past few years, the popularity and demand of POCT has been growing rapidly. This should come as no surprise as there are many advantages to POCT, for example, the added convenience of being able to obtain a rapid result at the patient’s bedside, thus allowing immediate action, saving time and improving the potential outcome for the patient.
Understanding statistics in laboratory quality controlRandox
This document discusses laboratory quality control and interpreting quality control results. It outlines a 5 step process: 1) Calculate the mean, 2) Calculate the standard deviation, 3) Establish decision limits, 4) Create a Levey-Jennings chart, and 5) Accept or reject results based on quality control rules. Statistics like the mean, standard deviation, and decision limits are used to monitor the accuracy and precision of analytical testing and ensure reliable patient results. Quality control software can automate the calculation of these statistics and generation of charts to more easily monitor performance.
How often is Right for Laboratory Quality Control?Randox
Improving Laboratory Performance Through QC - How often is right for QC? Ask the Right Questions to get the Right Answers.
It is widely accepted that laboratories should perform QC at least every day of patient testing. However, is this adequate for every assay and for every laboratory? Is running QC once per day really sufficient? what is the "right" frequency for running QC samples in your laboratory?
Third party quality controls are important to ensure accurate patient test results. They provide an independent assessment of analytical performance compared to controls from instrument or reagent manufacturers. The document describes several examples where Randox third party controls detected errors that dedicated manufacturer controls failed to identify, including instrument faults, procedural errors, and shifts in results between reagent batches. Regulatory bodies recommend using third party controls over manufacturer controls to independently monitor testing quality.

This document discusses quality assurance and control in clinical laboratories. It explains that quality control aims to ensure test results are correct by monitoring performance through tools like internal quality control and external quality assessment. The document outlines the pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phases of testing and discusses specific quality control procedures used at each stage like storage of controls, monitoring control data, and troubleshooting out of control errors. Westgard rules for determining if quality control is in or out of control are also explained.
Biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes are complex, challenging and utilize living organisms to produce safe and efficacious biopharmaceuticals. These molecules themselves have high molecular weights and complex structures that will exhibit heterogeneity such that at any given vial contains not one active ingredient but a population of biologically active molecules which must have maximal benefit to the patient with minimal deleterious effects. The necessity for controlling variation in processes, and hence product, is self-evident when we consider how our actions affect the lives of the patients our products are developed for. This presentation focuses on understanding the various origins of process variation and examines strategies for reducing their impact or eliminating them all together.

The document discusses the need for next-generation quality monitoring tools in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. It describes how Spectral Engines has developed miniature near-infrared sensors that provide real-time data on pharmaceutical processes. The sensors enable fast, reliable, and non-destructive quality measurement and have been tested successfully in applications like moisture detection in tablets, monitoring continuous manufacturing processes, and quality control of printable drug formulations. Spectral sensors can help pharmaceutical companies monitor quality in their batch processes, continuous production lines, and personalized drug printing technologies of the future.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
