Quality Control

Let's do some Lab QC evaluations:

The Levey-Jenning charts show a two level QC results used on a laboratory test

Evaluate the results on the two charts

State the types of error found

What is the critical analytical range affecting the results showed on the charts?



ANS: Both control results exceed their respective +2s limits, therefore there is a 22s rule violation across materials. A systematic error is most likely occurring and is affecting the results throughout the critical analytical range from at least 200 to 250 mg/dL.
