Mission: Control - Patient Risk Managed QC

Helping labs develop QC strategies to reduce patient risk we address key questions: Are out-of-control conditions detected quickly? What’s the optimal QC frequency? How can QC minimize incorrect results? Without a solid QC plan, labs may miss critical malfunctions before errors occur.

Overview

Bio-Rad’s Mission: Control helps labs determine the right QC strategy to minimize risk of harm to the patient. We help answer questions like, what is your level of confidence that out-of-control conditions are being quickly identified? How often should controls be run for specific assays—is there an optimal frequency? How can QC be managed to minimize the risk of releasing incorrect patient results? Laboratories without a properly designed QC strategy may not be able to quickly detect critical system malfunctions before releasing erroneous patient results.

Optimized QC Strategy

Increased level of confidence

Increased level of confidence

Mission: Control helps increase a lab’s level of confidence to quickly identify out of control conditions. If your QC plan includes less than optimal QC frequency, ranges, and rules, you may be headed toward unreliable results without warnings.

Minimized risk of reporting incorrect results

Minimized risk of reporting incorrect results

A patient risk approach to QC is a step toward improving quality assurance and patient care. We can help you understand what this means for your lab and how to take steps to implement an effective QC plan for your analytical phase of testing.
