User control ranges (for manual QC only)
The specified control ranges in the inserts, which are established by Radiometer,
include all well-functioning analyzers, and the uncertainty budget will therefore
include a contribution derived from the analyzer-to-analyzer variation. This
means that results obtained on one specific analyzer should fall within control
ranges that are narrower than the insert control ranges.
Before establishing analyzer-specific or so-called user-defined control ranges,
you should ensure that your analyzer functions correctly and is properly
maintained. The procedure below should be followed. User control ranges must
be established and updated each time you start using a new lot of quality
control solutions.
Perform 20 measurements on each level of quality control solution in order to
take into account the following variations:
sample-to-sample
person-to-person by using two or more people to make measurements
day-to-day by spreading measurements over a minimum of 4-5 days
other variations such as uncertainty from calibration solutions, chemical
decomposition of the quality control solutions, and inhomogeneity of the QC
lot should be included in the user-defined control ranges (see procedure
further in this chapter).
The following requirements should be fulfilled for analyzer-specific control
ranges:
The established mean value falls within the insert control ranges
Worldwide DATACHECK participants: the established SD is not wider than
1.26 x Avg(SD) of the peer group of similar analyzers
To establish your own control ranges, do the following.
Step Action
1.
Perform at least 20 measurements as described above.
2.
Enter the QC screen (press Menu > Utilities > Setup (if
necessary, log on) > QC Setup > QC Ranges).
Select the desired control solution by pressing Next Slot.
3.
Press Edit to change the lower/upper limit in the "Lot to date range
(2SD)" column. Confirm each change with Enter on the keypad.
Use Next or Prev. Param. to change to another parameter.
4.
Press Close to exit the program.
To get full benefit from the evaluation procedure, Radiometer recommends the
use of a statistics factor of 1.5 (default) to establish the statistics range (see
section Statistics factor and statistics range further in this appendix.
Another option is to manually correct the 2 SD control ranges in order to include
uncertainty contributions from:
chemical decomposition of the QUAL solution
inhomogeneity of QC lots
calibration solutions
