3 2011 Evaluation Criteria The evaluation criteria used in the 2011 MLE Program is in accordance with the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA 88) federal requirements for proficiency testing. The criteria are included below. Qualitative For qualitative procedures, evaluation is based on participant consensus. A minimum percentage of participants must receive a passing score or the challenge is not evaluated due to lack of consensus. These percentages are listed below. Infectious Mononucleosis Rheumatoid Factor Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO) Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) Anti-dsDNA Anti-RNP Anti-RNP/Sm Anti-SSA Anti-SSB Anti-SSA/SSB Anti-Sm C-Reactive Protein Rubella Antibody H. pylori Antibody Detection Total IgE Diagnostic Allergy Syphilis Serology Lyme Disease Serology Mycoplasma Antibody Anti-HIV Viral Markers Quantitative For quantitative procedures, a mean and standard deviation (SD) are calculated for each peer group consisting of 10 or more laboratories. Acceptable performance is established based on a target value the intervals below. An explanation on how to calculate the range of acceptability based upon these limits is also provided in your MLE Program Guide on pages under the heading "Acceptable Ranges for Quantitative Results."
