Chapter 5 – Quality Control
The Quality Control program is used to collect QC data and display QC
reports and statistics. These functions are used to obtain data, verify and
monitor proper system operation.
NOTE: If a QC run fails, the system will not allow the operator to run
specimens. The QC run should be repeated and be successful before
running patient specimens.
Control Material
The condition and accuracy of the system can be checked by performing
Control Measurements using Urine Control CA/CB/CC (REF 800-7211).
The iChemVELOCITY supports the use of three (3) control solutions (CA,
CB and CC) to validate the positive responses for each urine chemistry.
Handling QC Material
These products should be refrigerated for long-term storage. After
opening, these products should be stored between 2° to 8°C
(refrigeration). Consult the package insert for more information.
Control Frequency
All controls should be run at least once every 24 hours or as specified in
the Laboratory’s QC Procedure manual.
