A user-defined group of tests organized to make data entry and review easier. Create a panel to customize the organization of tests in a convenient way. For example, a panel can be created to group a number of different tests performed on a single instrument, or a panel can be created to group the same test performed on multiple instruments.
One of the available Unity™ Interlaboratory Program consensus groups. The Peer consensus group is composed of all laboratories using the same instrument, lot number, level, reagent, analytical method, units, and temperature of a test. This is the ideal group for comparison.
The percent of analytical quality assurance (AQA) for systematic error (SE) is the chance of detecting medically important systematic errors. Percent AQA (SE) is synonymous with probability of error detection (Ped).
A single value generated as a result of testing an analyte within a control material.
A measurement of how close a set of measurements are to each other. The measurements may or may not be close to the "true" answer. See "accuracy."
A QC performance characteristic describing how often a run is rejected when there are no errors.
