Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the application effect of automatic quality control mode in the biochemical and immunological production line. Methods The manual and automatic internal quality control(IQC) results were analyzed by collecting 32 biochemical items and 22 immunological items of production line in Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University from 2023 to 2024. The differences in precision,stability,consumption of quality control specimens,review time of the first report and control failure rate were analyzed. Results Among the 108 quality control data,82 showed statistical significance between the 2 quality control modes(P<0.05). Under the automatic quality control mode,for the 47 items with industry standards,except for the low-value quality control sample of free prostate speeific antigen whose coefficient of variation(CV) exceeded the industry standard requirements,the CV of the 2-level quality control samples for the other items all met the quality requirements. Totally,7 items had a CV of the low-value quality control sample,and 1 item had a CV of the high-value quality control sample higher than that of the manual quality control mode. There were 12 items with periodic changes related to the storage of quality control specimens. The consumption of quality control samples under the automatic quality control mode was at least 31.51% less than that under the manual quality control mode. Under the automatic quality control mode,the review time of the first report was approximately 10.47 min earlier than that under the manual quality control mode. The out-of-control rates of the automatic quality control mode and the manual quality control mode were 0.07% and 0.06%,respectively. Under the manual quality control mode,there was no out-of-control caused by the quality control specimens,while under the automatic quality control mode,the out-of-control caused by the quality control specimens accounted for 35.71% of the total out-of-control. Conclusions The automatic quality control mode of the biochemical and immunological production line can meet the clinical quality control requirements and has advantages in precision improvement,cost saving and efficiency optimization.
