4 Mandatory introduction of NAT in Italian blood centers June 2002 HCV RNA April 2008 HIV RNA and HBV DNA

5 Italian NAT EQAs for HCV, HIV and HBV Since 2008, the National Blood Centre and the National Centre for Immunobiologicals Research and Evaluation (CRIVIB) of the ISS have been promoting and organizing on an annual basis NAT EQAs for HCV, HIV and HBV.

6 Italian Tri NAT EQAs - Scope These programmes are aimed at assessing the performance of laboratories in carrying out qualitative NAT assays for HCV RNA, HIV RNA and HBV DNA but they also provide participants with a tool to: evaluate the effectiveness of their quality system by detecting any possible weakness in the pre- and post-analytical steps of the process estimate the ability of their analytical methods to generate results that meet the parameters and the technical specifications of the assay

7 ISS EQA Tri NAT Participants 81 Italian blood centres 43 foreign blood centres Estonia 1 Germany 2 Lithuania 1 Ireland 1 Slovenia 1 Spain 20 Switzerland 1 Thailand 16 Total no. of participants: 125 (+ 1 QC laboratory of a blood products manufacturer)
