IQAP
The Interlaboratory Quality Assurance Program (IQAP) both complements and enhances
your laboratory' s in-house quality control. It is a service offered to users of Beckman Coulter
Hematology cell controls and calibrators worldwide. The IQAP manual (PN 4206266 for
4C Plus, 5C and Retic-C cell controls) presents information on program enrollment, data
entry, the IQAP report, quality control concepts, and answers to the most commonly asked
questions about the program.
The IQAP program is comprehensive and easy to use. For each set of data you submit, you
will receive a personalized report. It presents summaries of your results and compares them to
those of the peer group (pool).
You should submit your control data to IQAP as soon as you finish the control lots. Only
submit data from control files you have not previously submitted.
The IQAP Data Download Instructions document (PN 4237600) provides detailed
instructions how to download your control files to a diskette.
