External Quality Assurance for Heparin Monitoring
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2012Although there is considerable debate regarding the usefulness of laboratory heparin monitoring, these test processes reflect a substantial portion of hemostasis laboratory activity. Accordingly, external quality assurance (EQA) remains an essential component of such testing, and ensures that laboratories provide the best available service for patient ...

External quality assessment: best practice
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2014There is a requirement for accredited laboratories to participate in external quality assessment (EQA) schemes, but there is wide variation in understanding as to what is required by the laboratories and scheme providers in fulfilling this. This is not helped by a diversity of language used in connection with EQA; Proficiency testing (PT), EQA schemes,

External quality assessment (EQA) for CoaguChek monitors
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2010SummaryAnticoagulant control facilities are being overwhelmed by requests for monitoring and large numbers of patients are not therefore receiving treatment. Procedures designed for point-of-care testing have therefore been developed, the most popular being the CoaguChek.

External quality assessment schemes for toxicology
Forensic Science International, 2002A variety of external quality assurance (EQA) schemes monitor quantitative performance for routine biochemical analysis of agents such as paracetamol, salicylate, ethanol and carboxyhaemoglobin. Their usefulness for toxicologists can be lessened where the concentrations monitored do not extend fully into the toxic range or where the matrix is synthetic,

External quality assurance and assessment in immunocytochemistry
Histopathology, 1989A quality assurance scheme for immunocytochemistry was started in 1984. There are currently 140 participating laboratories, most of which have shown considerable improvement in their results since joining the scheme. In our experience the supplier of the primary antibody does not affect the quality of the results; the sensitivity of the method used and

External Quality Assessment Schemes for Immunoassays
2013External quality assessment schemes (EQAS) provide an important means of monitoring the quality of the performance of immunoassays in the field. Set up by external bodies and complementing internal quality control procedures, they enable ongoing comparison of individual laboratory results, both with independently established target values and with ...
