Internal Quality Assurance:
- Quality control samples are run every day at pre-determined intervals before the commencement of testing of actual patient samples
- Daily analysis of 2 or 3 levels i.e. low, medium, and high level of third-party controls before analysing patients’ samples
- Ideal blood collection via vacutainer system to avoid activation of clotting mechanism
- Periodic calibration of machines
- Complete documentation like log books for instruments, daily, weekly and monthly maintenance books etc.
- Every 4 hrs monitoring and documentation of various temperature-sensitive instruments like refrigerator and deep freezer where reagents, kits and samples are stored
- Interfacing of an instrument to software, so that transfer of data occurs automatically i.e. No manual error while preparing reports
- A dual check of reports by qualified and well trained technical staff and final approval by Pathologist
- A repeat of abnormal samples by different technologists
External Quality Assessment Scheme:
External quality assessment schemes are accepted around the world as invaluable tools for laboratories, to assess the performance of their test systems. Shalby has a tie-up with BIORAD for analysing hematology, biochemistry & immunology panels which significantly improves our laboratory services in terms of performance evaluation, patient care and safety issues and overall quality of laboratory practices.
