- Quality Control Serum

Randox Acusera 24•7Randox Acusera 24•7 is an Interlaboratory Data Managementsoftware and peer group reporting package designed to complementand support the Acusera range of control sera.The Acusera 24•7 software enables laboratories to monitor analyticalperformance while the peer group reporting function allowslaboratories to access peer group reports and compare results withother laboratories using the same quality controls and often the samemethod and instrument.Peer group data is updated every 24 hours, giving you access tothe most up to date information available.Why participate in a peer group reporting programme like Acusera 24•7?14Receive reliable information from a trustworthy sourceAcusera 24•7 peer group statistics are generated every 24 hoursfrom 1000’s of labs in countries worldwide. This large numberof participants ensures an extensive database of results for manyanalytical methods, assures validity and therefore increases confidencein your results.Identify any trends, system errors or reagent issues as soon as they ariseAcusera 24•7 will help you to detect and identify errors in yourlaboratory system thus minimising expensive repeats and lengthlyunnecessary troubleshooting.By comparing your IQC results with peer group data, you can identifyproblems that otherwise may have gone unnoticed and assess if shiftsin QC recovery are unique to your laboratory. Access to peer groupdata may even alert you to future issues before they are encounteredin your laboratory.Most errors occur alongside software changes, changes in reagentformulation and calibrator re standardisation.Improve EQA/PT performance by eliminating any undetected biasRandox Acusera 24•7 supports and complements your current EQA/PT scheme. External quality assessment is not performed on a dailybasis but periodically. Reporting is generally bi-weekly or monthly withRIQAS, but may be less frequent with other schemes.Errors can occur at any time or at any point in the testing process andmay go undetected until you receive your next EQA report. You mayidentify a problem when you receive your EQA report but when didthe issue occur? 1 day ago, 1 week ago or just after your last EQAsample was tested?A well maintained internal quality control programme supplementedwith a peer group reporting scheme like Randox Acusera 24•7, isnecessary to establish and maintain reliability, precision and accuracy.In addition to this, participation in a peer group reporting scheme mayalso improve EQA/PT performance, as your results are more likely tocompare well to other laboratories participating in the same scheme.You can have more confidence in the results you submit to yourEQA/PT provider.Help meet regulatory requirementsLaboratory managers are under increasing pressure to closelymonitor laboratory test results and assure their quality due to growingdemands from higher authorities for national andinternational accreditation.“The laboratoryshall participatein interlaboratorycomparisons...”-ISO 15189:2003(E), Subclause 5.6.4.76
