7.3. Quality control
Quality control feature allows tracing the operation and reliability of the analyzer in time.
The best practice is to run a control sample every morning. You can also use multiple
control material lots.

Control material is a defined and controlled quality prepared (almost artificial) blood
product. It has conserved and treated blood cells inside which allows this material to be
stable for a much longer time than normal blood would be.
The “Measure” option will become active only if there are reference values entered for the
actual QC Lot.
7.3.1. References
To be able to run specific samples, and to see stability or variation of parameters, it is
necessary to define a reference material for the software. This is going to be the basis for
Quality Control. The idea is to enter these so-called expected or target values, and save
everyday repeated runs of the same material in a separate database so that these values
can be compared to the reference data.
Reference values arrive with the control material. The manufacturer recommends using
DiatroCont3 with the analyzer.
The assay value sheet contains all necessary parameters for the control material.
