9 9.1 Using the QC Program Overview Quality Control (QC) consists of strategies and procedures that measure the precision and stability of the analyzer. The results imply the reliability of the sample results. QC involves measuring materials with known, stable characteristics at frequent intervals. Analysis of the results with statistical methods allows the inference that sample results are reliable. Mindray Animal Medical recommends you run the QC program daily with normal, low and high level controls.
9 Using the QC Program Figure 9-4 QC file setup screen . Table 9-3 QC file Items Description Note Lot No. Find the Lot No. of controls on the The lot No. shall not be empty and up to 16 vial labels of the controls digits can be entered. You can enter characters, numbers, letters and special characters. Chinese characters are not supported. The lot No. cannot be null. Enter the lot No. of the controls by one of the following ways: Manual entry, or using an external barcode scanner.
9 Using the QC Program Table 9-3 QC file Items Description Note In Use QC files in use or not: When you select “In Use” in the “In Use” pull down list, the QC results will be stored in the QC file. In Use Not in Use QC Sample If you analyze control together ID with samples, you can set a unique ID for the control. The analyzer will recognize the sample as control when it reads the unique ID. After the analysis completes, the results will be saved into the QC file of the QC sample ID.
9 Using the QC Program • The user should ensure the data safety of the USB devices connecting to the analyzer. 4. Define “QC Sample ID” and “Communication ID”. 5. (Optional) If necessary, set the QC file to “In Use” in the “In Use” pull-down list. NOTE: 6. • You can check or uncheck to “In Use” option on the QC file table screen to activate or deactivate the QC files. • For files having the same “QC Sample ID”, only one of them can be “In Use”.
9 Using the QC Program 9.2.2 Running QC Tests CAUTION When the power indicator is flickering, it indicates that the sample probe is lowering down. Be sure your hand is away from the sample probe during the process, otherwise, your hand may be hurt. You can select one of the two ways below to run controls: • Run controls on the QC count screen.
