5. QC SETTINGS
This program is used to set QC method and output method of QC data. Two kinds of QC
methods are available with this instrument:
X
control and L-J control. Select either of them
that suits your purpose.
X
Control: Control blood is subjected to two consecutive analyses and the mean of
them is used as the QC data. This method causes little influence on
reproducibility in analysis.
L-J Control: This control uses the data from a single analysis of control blood as QC
data. The control width in the L-J control is prone to influence in
reproducibility in analysis, so that the control width is wider than in the
case of
X
control.
