Causes of unsatisfactory performance in proficiency testing.
BACKGROUND Proficiency testing (PT) provides a measure of the effectiveness of laboratory quality assurance programs. Test reports are released from processes that the laboratory judges to be in conformance with quality specifications; an evaluation of unsatisfactory performance (UNSAT) by a PT provider is an unexpected outcome for the laboratory. An understanding of the root cause(s) of testin...
متن کاملPerformance of succinylacetone assays and their associated proficiency testing outcomes.
BACKGROUND Succinylacetone (SUAC) is the primary metabolic marker for hepatorenal tyrosinemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used results reported for dried-blood-spot proficiency testing (PT) specimens and hepatorenal tyrosinemia patients' newborn screening (NBS) samples to demonstrate analytic biases in SUAC recoveries and differences in presumptive clinical classifications. RESULTS SUAC recov...
متن کاملClinical laboratory performance on proficiency testing samples--United States, 1994.
Regulation of laboratory testing for human health is mandated by law in the United States; the most recently enacted regulatory law is the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA). In accordance with this law, as of August 1995 a total of 154,721 laboratories had registered with the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), which is responsible for implementing the CLIA regu...
متن کاملTesting and Performance Calibration Techniques for Integrated RF Circuits
In this dissertation, a unified approach is proposed for the testing and calibration procedures of integrated RF circuits, that exploits a common set of optimally selected observables. In order to address the problem of accessibility to these observables, a built-in measurement technique is presented, while a method to minimize the uncertainty introduced in the measurement system itself is desc...
متن کاملPerformance Verification of Impact Machines for Testing Plastics
National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colorado 80303 Valid comparison of impact test energies reported by various organizations and over time depends on consistent performance of impact test machines. This paper investigates the influence of various specimen and test parameters on impact energies in the 1 J to 2 J range for both Charpy V-notch and Izod procedures, leading tow...
