4 TYPES OF CONTROL MATERIAL COMMERCIAL LYOPHYLIZED (human) COMMERCIAL LIQUID (human) PATIENT SAMPLES - pools - single donation MICRO-ORGANISMS

5 STATISTICAL non parametric ANALYSIS OF QUANTITATIVE RESULTS RELATIVE IMPRECISION (own peer group) CRITERIA M - R Z-SCORE = SD limit = 3Z (3SD) SD = P75 P25 / 1,349 RELATIVE ACCURACY (own peer group) M - R U-SCORE = x 100 limit = d (%) M Based on biological variability

6 LABORATORY EVALUATION FOR QUANTITATIVE RESULTS - ANNUAL REPORT- NUMBER OF RESULTS EXCEEDING THE LIMITS FOR IMPRECISION AND ACCURACY ARE ADDED IMPRECISION (relative) Z > 3SD (own peer group) method dependent ACCURACY (relative) U > d (fixed limit) non method dependent NZ Nu Percentages of Nz (=Pz) and Nu (Pu) for each laboratory are calculated

7 LABORATORY EVALUATION FOR QUANTITATIVE RESULTS - ANNUAL REPORT- PRECISION (relative) ACCURACY (relative) P N N Z Z = 100 (%) P N N U U = 100 (%) 90 th percentile (P 90 ) of the distribution of all Pz and all Pu values of all laboratories is calculated criterion for performance evaluation. Pz > P (90) z Poor performance for PRECISION Pu > P (90) u Poor performance for ACCURACY

8 Cumulative Pz- en Pu-distribution for all laboratories - EQA CHEMISTRY (N=213) Cumulative freq distrib.o Pz Pu Percentage z-scores and u-scores "out of limit values"
