Autoverification-based algorithms to detect preanalytical errors: Two examples
Clinical Biochemistry, 2023The preanalytical phase of testing accounts for the majority of the errors. Software-based quality rules, such as autoverification, can assist in preanalytical error detection; therefore, preventing erroneous results from being reported. Two autoverification rules, turbidity/lipemia, and pseudohypoglycemia/pseudohyperkalemia alarms, are highlighted ...

Preanalytical errors on zinc concentrations caused by single-use gloves
Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, 2021Preanalytical errors causing specimen contamination with zinc (Zn) are disastrous for routine medical diagnostics or scientific studies. The aim of the study presented here is to simulate contamination possibilities when using single-use gloves. The ability to release Zn into the specimen was tested using nitril (A), vinyl (B) and latex (C) gloves with

Anticoagulant-induced preanalytical errors in ionized calcium determination on blood
Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1989When anticoagulated blood is necessary for ionized calcium (Ca2+) measurements especially in urgent circumstances, the type (sodium or 'calcium-titrated' heparinate) as well as the form (aqueous or dry) of anticoagulant induce preanalytical errors. To quantify these modifications Ca2+ was measured in three aqueous solutions and in three serum pools in ...

Error Reduction in the Preanalytical Process
2015This chapter summarizes the most common sources of error in the preanalytical processes of surgical pathology, including specimen accessioning and grossing, tissue processing and embedding, the cutting and flotation of tissue sections onto microscopic slides, and the process of slide “sign-out,” in which the microscopic slides are reviewed for quality,

The prevalence of preanalytical errors in a Croatian ISO 15189 accredited laboratory
cclm, 2010Abstract Background: The preanalytical phase is the most common source of laboratory errors. The goal of this descriptive study was to analyze the prevalence and type of preanalytical errors in relation to the site of sample collection (inpatient vs.
