Single Test Summary Data Entry

Entering single test summary data includes entering the mean, SD, and number of points for each level for a calendar month. You can choose to enter summary data if using quality control evaluation on an instrument or LIS for daily quality control. Entering summary data allows participation in the Unity™ Interlaboratory Program.

Note: You can enter point and summary data for the same test. If doing so, the Summary Statistics include both types of data.

• Data entered as summary data is not evaluated by SPC rules.
• Only the Bar Chart is available for summary data.

  Note: If viewing a Levey-Jennings, Multi-LJ, or Youden chart for a test with only summary data, the chart displays but does not contain data points.

• The Set Date feature can be used for summary data. However, the date does not increment by month, but instead increments by one day. See "Use the Set Date Feature" for more information.
• Comments are available for summary data.
• Actions are not available for summary data.
