Combined internal quality control (iqc) and external quality assessment/proficiency testing (eqa/pt) for diagnostic testing

摘要

Combined IQC and EQA/PT activities for in vitro diagnostic testing through a specific software portal using bespoke IOC materials. The software provides immediate feedback to the operator of the testing device on the acceptability of the IOC result(s). Additionally, the IQC results are used to produce EQA/PT reports without the necessity for separate EQAIPT samples. The system may log the results with the operator identity and time to provide an audit trail. The software may also provide additional functionality to support the operator in quality assurance processes
