THE QUALITY OF DIAGNOSTIC SAMPLES
Correct
The basis for development of the program were Recommendations of the Working Group for Preanalytical Variables of DGKC and DGL.
Comprehensive
Deatailed information on choice of diagnostic sample, its collection, transport, storage and optimal volume is available. Moreover, the program elaborates the stability of 386 analytes in blood, 65 analytes in urine and 9 analytes in CSF.
Approved
Officially approved by the Federation of European Societies of Clinical Chemistry.
Up-to-date
The Permanent Asientific Advisory Board is responsible for the constant update of the information.
Multilingual
English, Spanish and German version.
POINT-OF-CARE TESTING
POCT
The Point of Care testing is laboratory testing conducted close to the site where patient care is delivered. Point-of-care testing (POCT), also known as bedside testing or near-patient testing, is intended to provide more rapid test results than can be achieved in central or satellite laboratory setting.
Preanalytical Control
The analyses performed by laboratories are subject to biological and technical influences, professional skills and enviromental effects. The laboratory should make a list with detailed instructions for specimen collection to minimize pre-analytical factors that could cause misinterpretation or misunderstanding of laboratory results.
Analytical Quality
The Careful evaluation of the POCT procedure before its introduction is mandatory. This includes tests of precision, accuracy and linearity and, particularly, comparative measurements with the respective routine method used by laboratory.
Analytes
The detailed information about every analyte include: introduction, sample, principles of determination, clinical signification, risk factors, effects of drugs (analytical drugs interference), findings (interpretation of results).
URINALYSIS BY MEANS OF TEST STRIP
Urine sampling and storage
Correct urine sampling and storage are described at the beginning of the program.
Test strip
Instructions on the use of test strip and relevant information on test strip sensitivity, specificity, and time of reading are provided.
