More than QC comparison

In addition to peer comparison, navify Quality Performance offers other functionalities, allowing your laboratory to demonstrate the technical competence of your team as well as providing confidence in the analytical procedures, essential objectives of accreditation and the quality approach imposed by the ISO standard. 15189. These features include:

  • Comparison with SFBC, RICOS, EFLM standards and laboratory objectives. Also, navify Quality Performance offers the ability to add additional benchmarking standards

  • Monthly and daily intra or inter-laboratory comparisons

  • Automatic calculation of “measurement uncertainty”

Benefits

Supporting you to meet the growing requirements of lab accreditation

ISO 15189 is the gold standard for accreditation of medical laboratories, covering both management and technical requirements. With ISO 15189, your lab is required to measure and report uncertainty values for the assays measured. navify Quality Performance provides these values in an automated and accurate way with real-time and robust performance data accessible at your fingertips.

Supporting key ISO 15189 requirements

navify Quality Performance supports many ISO 15189 requirements, for example:

  • clause 7.3.4 Evaluation of Measurement Uncertainty (MU)

  • clause 7.3.7.2 Internal Quality Control (IQC) 

  • clause 3.12 Interlaboratory Comparison
