CUBE 30 TOUCH | USER MANUAL
Jennings graph shows: on the x axis the number of repetitions of the controls, on the y
axis the mean value (AVG, green line) and the distance from the mean measured in
standard deviations (± SD yellow lines, ± 2SD red lines). The type of control is indicated at
the top right (N for Normal control and A for pathological, abnormal control).
WESTGARD rules are widely established statistical rules which make it possible to
identify, on a probability basis, systematic and random errors that can lead to a failure to
comply with established objectives of accuracy and precision.
The following Westgard rules are commonly used:
• 1
2s:
A control value exceeds the mean of two standard deviations.
• 1
3S:
A control value exceeds the mean of three standard deviations.
• 2
2S:
Two consecutive values exceed the mean of two standard deviations on the same
side of the mean.
• R
4S:
The difference between two consecutive values exceeds the four standard
deviations.
• 4
1S:
Four consecutive values exceed the mean of a standard deviation on the same
side.
• 10
x:
Ten consecutive values fall on the same side compared to the mean.
In the event that a rule is not respected, the instrument signals the condition to the user
through the danger symbol, which can be viewed in Figure 65, on the right.
