Quality Control

Laboratory quality control is designed to detect, reduce, and correct deficiencies in a laboratory’s internal analytical process prior to the release of patient results, in order to improve the quality of the results reported by the laboratory.

Quality control is a measure of precision, or how well the measurement system reproduces the same result over time and under varying operating conditions. Green Cross has invested significantly in quality control material. The controls are usually run at the beginning of each shift, after an instrument is serviced, when reagent lots are changed, after calibration, and whenever patient results seem inappropriate.

EQAS is the largest global EQA scheme. It is used by 16,000 laboratories worldwide. EQAS is accredited to a number of internationally recognised standards. The objective of performing EQA is to develop inter-laboratory comparability which allows standardisation of diagnostic testing. EQA measures a laboratory’s accuracy using ‘blind’ samples that are analysed as if they were patient samples. For Green Cross EQA has a number of functions:

    • Maintaining and improving the analytical quality of laboratory tests
    • Detecting equipment failures, identifying reagent problems, reviewing staff training
    • Initiating and evaluating corrective actions
    • Comparing different analytical methods

Participation in an EQA scheme will help produce reliable and accurate reporting of patient results, consequently  providing accurate patient diagnosis and treatment.
