4.5.2 Running a QC Sample
Policies regarding the measurement of QC samples
are at the discretion of the individual hospital. OPTI
Medical Systems recommends that QC solutions
be run, as a minimum, with each new lot number of
cassettes and at monthly intervals thereafter.
You should only use the manufacturer recommended
controls OPTI CHECK and OPTI CHECK PLUS
which do NOT contain dye or other colored material.
Whenever a new lot of controls is opened, be sure to
enter the lot number information into the analyzer as
described in Chapter 3 “Customization”.

The control material should provide target values
for all measured parameters over a range of
measurement values typically seen in a laboratory.
The results obtained should fall within limits
established by the user’s laboratory.
