Limitations of the Procedure
Use of Results
• Results outside of the normal ranges listed below may indicate a problem with
analyzer performance, or it may be caused by improperly prepared control material
or product deterioration. It is recommended that any failed QC control test should be
repeated. Repeated failures should be reported to the supervisor.
• Do not report any patient results until the control parameters are within their
appropriate ranges.
Expected Values
Expected values for test results are within the reference ranges that were established
based on testing, following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)
publication C28-A3c, Defining, Establishing and Verifying Reference Intervals. Each
laboratory may establish its own level of performance to monitor quality assurance.
Follow your institution's policy to establish mean target values and ranges for the quality
controls.
