6 - Paralell testing
Overview
Purpose
Only when the system is known to be stable can data be collected to calculate the observed mean and SD of a new lot number of QC material. % CV is introduced and used in the SD computation of short shelf-life control materials.
Key Message
- New lot numbers of control material should be tested in parallel with the currently in-use control material.
- Parallel testing is only performed when the instrument is operationally stable.
- Package inserts serve as a guideline only and should not be used when creating the L-J chart for the new control. %CV tells us WHERE WE ARE in terms of precision.
Self Assessment
Can you:
- Understand the importance of parallel testing?
- Identify the steps to perform parallel testing at their site?
- Calculate the %CV?
