Abstract
A method for performing quality control on a diagnostic analyzer includes receiving control measurement values from each of a plurality of diagnostic analyzers. A quality control measurement value is received from a target diagnostic analyzer. The quality control measurement value is compared with statistical criteria associated with the plurality of quality control measurement values received from the plurality of diagnostic analyzers. A comparison result is communicated to a user interface associated with the target diagnostic analyzer.
Claims21
A method for quality assurance of a sample analyzer, comprising:
- providing a statistical criterion for quality assurance of sample analyzers,
- the criterion being created based on a peer group data including a plurality of quality control (QC) measurements generated by running tests on quality control samples on a plurality of sample analyzers in a peer group, and
- the criterion including a range having an upper limit and a lower limit comparable with a QC measurement generated by a sample analyzer;
- comparing, with the range of the statistical criterion, a target QC measurement generated by running a test on a quality control sample on a target sample analyzer;
- and
- displaying, in response to the target QC measurement being outside of the range, on the target sample analyzer or a computer of a laboratory, a screen showing that the target sample analyzer failed to pass the statistical criterion.

- comparing, with the range of the statistical criterion, a target QC measurement generated by running a test on a quality control sample on a target sample analyzer;
