3.7 Perform Quality Control (QC)
Quality control analysis is used for confirming the system performance. It is
necessary for all diagnostic equipment.
Check the performance of the AU5800 regularly by analyzing QC samples.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency. QC samples should
be tested each time patient samples are tested and each time calibration is
performed. If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all
operating parameters.
Each laboratory should also establish guidelines to ensure corrective action if
controls do not recover within the specified limits.
