Running the Samples
Control Recommendations
•
Run controls in accordance with your laboratory protocol.
•
Run multilevel controls at the beginning of each shift.
Siemens recommends the use of ADVIA TESTpoint Hematology Controls
(Low, Normal, and High) and ADVIA TESTpoint Reticulocyte Control
(Low and High).
•
Run controls alone or at the start of the patient workload.
•
Optionally, you can run a retained patient sample periodically to monitor
performance trends.
•
Evaluate all control results before reporting patient results.
•
If control results fail to meet the laboratory’s established criteria for
acceptability, you must evaluate all patient test results obtained in the
unacceptable run to determine if the patient results were adversely affected.
•
Perform and document appropriate corrective actions, which may include
recalibration and reassaying of patient samples, before reporting patient
results.
