Revised CAP POC.07456 - Control Range Establishment or Verification

7 followers

"An acceptable control range is established or verified for each lot of control material."
Note: For assayed control materials, control ranges supplied by the manufacturer must be verified.

How are you guys verifying the assayed manufacturer's control ranges for non-waived testing on instruments such as ACT Plus, HMS Plus and TEG 5000?

We run the QC when we receive it to verify the ranges match the manufacturer printed ranges.

We do the same as Adonica.  From my POC Quality Control Policy:
New QC lot control range is verified by lot-to-lot comparison with the in-use QC lot.  This lot-to-lot comparison is performed by the same operator, on the same device, using the same cartridge lot number.  Both new and in-use QC lots must fall within the range supplied by manufacturer to verify.
