b. Temporary limits may be calculated from the Standard Deviation (SD) or Coefficient of
Variation (CV%) calculated in the QC file.
Example using SD:
1 SD for hemoglobin is 0.2 g/dL. 2 SD’s would be 0.2 x 2 or 0.4.
The calculated limit is 13.7 +/- 0.4.
5. Each level of QC and each parameter will have unique means and limits.
6. Submit QC data monthly to eQC program.
7. After 6 months, use lab specific cumulative eQC data (historic) to calculate limits employing above
procedures with either SD or CV%.
8. Once established, the historic limits will remain the same for new lot numbers.
Once historic limits have been established, for each new lot number of QC:
1. Establish new means as described in the above procedure.
2. Utilize the historic limits previously established.
3. Submit data monthly to eQC and monitor SDI’s.
