Very rarely, usually it’s more human error, if my QC is out no patient results are released and previous patients are spot checked and rerun against total allowable error.

I'd see it every few months. perhaps our lab was under par. I don't think so. Edited October 10 by Joe Ferguson forever

There are 3rd parties like CAP that send specimens year round for MLS and instruments to run if there is a problem with the instruments that lab will fail the cap survey or if it’s a near miss then an investigation of the instruments will happen The difference between this 3rd party and you is they have the results and total allowable error

Direct observation by clinicians is an important part of QC. No doubt that's in some MT handbook. btw, Obama's killing it in Pittsburg Edited October 10 by Joe Ferguson forever

Pathologists certainly agree, in my experience. "Dr Smith, is it true that Dr Jones was concerned about potassium levels coming out of your lab and Mr Brown died during that same time period from an arrhythmia associated with abnormal potassium levels?" They don't want that. Edited October 10 by Joe Ferguson forever

Hi Doctor as you can see here are the results of the 3rd party CAP survey for Potassium which we passed and here are the QC results for the entire year on that instrument notice no results were released unless QC passed, here is a G-curve of the patient population.

And I did y job when i reported strangely elevated K+ levels. And the pathologist did his job. Good for us all.
