Total Error-BV is the most powerful of the analytical goals available in Unity Real Time™ online. Total Error-BV provides useful information about laboratory imprecision and bias using a total error (TE) plot based on biological variation.
Use Total Error-BV as a quality appraisal tool. Total Error-BV sets the upper and lower limits of performance for each test based on the TEa using "within-subject" and "between subject" biological variation data and the performance goals selected.
When used to its fullest extent, Total Error-BV reveals which SPC rules and specifications are not test‑appropriate. Total Error-BV decreases laboratory costs by reducing unnecessary repeat testing, troubleshooting, and recalibration.
Note: The Total Error goal (%) is based on a 99% (p < .01) confidence interval.
