4.5.3 Running a QC Sample
Policies regarding the measurement of QC samples
are at the discretion of the individual hospital. OPTI
Medical Systems recommends that QC solutions
be run, as a minimum, with each new lot number of
cassettes and at monthly intervals thereafter.
You should use only manufacturer recommended
controls such as OPTI CHECK and OPTI CHECK
PLUS which do NOT contain dye or other colored
material. Whenever a new lot of controls is opened,
be sure to enter the lot number information into the
analyzer as described in Chapter 3 “Customization”.

The control material should provide target values
for all measured parameters over a range of
measurement values typically seen in a laboratory.
The results obtained should fall within limits
established by the user’s laboratory.
