Bench Review and Supervisor Review

Regulatory agencies frequently require the documentation of QC data review. The Bench Review and Supervisor Review simplifies this process and provides an electronic trail of the review at two levels:

• Bench Review

  The laboratory personnel performing the testing reviews QC results before verifying patient results.

• Supervisor Review

  Supervisory personnel retrospectively evaluate QC results and monitor bench performance.

Using Bench Review and Supervisor Review, data points violating a statistical process control (SPC) rule with a status of "reject" are highlighted in red and data points violating a SPC rule with a status of "warn" are highlighted in yellow. The following warning appears if any data point violates an active SPC rule.

In addition, the Bench Review and Supervisor Review sends data to Bio-Rad for inclusion in InstantQC™ Reports and Charts on www.QCNet.com for prospective data review.

Note: By default, data transmission from the Bench Review and Supervisor Review for InstantQC™ Reports and Charts is activated. See Activate Transmission for InstantQC™ for more information.

Unity Real Time™ online documents the Bench Review and Supervisor Review using the Data Review Report which you can print or save to a file. See Data Review Report for more information.
