摘要
BACKGROUND:We developed an efficient online automated quality control (AUTO QC) system and tested its feasibility on automatic laboratory assembly lines.
METHODS:AUTO QC is based on developed quality control software (Smart QC) and designed adaptable consumables before. We applied the system to two assembly lines in our laboratory. Using third-party quality control samples, we evaluated the impact of the online AUTO QC system on out-of-control rate, biosecurity risk, turnaround time (TAT) and cost.
RESULTS:AUTO QC significantly decreased the occurrence rate of the Westgard quality control rules 13S/22S/R4s and 12S, representing out-of-control and warning, respectively. The out-of-control rates were reduced by 58%, and the potential biosecurity risk of the samples decreased by 90%. The AUTO QC implementation also reduced the median TAT (by 7 min), the number of full-time employees and the cost of the quality control samples (by 45%).
CONCLUSIONS:The total laboratory AUTO QC system can improve the quality and stability of QC testing and reduce cost.
