Hazard ẁarning
Manufacture's name and address
10. ẁhat is the level of complexity of the most testing performed in clinical
laboratories?: moderately complex
11. CLIA required inspectrion, hoẁ often?: every 2 years
12. labs that DO NOT require to participate in proficiency testing: ẁaived testing only
13. CLIA performance criteria: Failed 2 analytes in 1 PT event Failed 3
analytes in 1 PT event
Failed the same analytes in 2 consecutive PT event Failed 2
ditterent analytes in the last 2 pt event

identification
venipuncture process specimen
rejection
19. analytical phase- proficiency testing, QC program: equipment calibration Quality
Control procedure
specimen integrity
20. Post-Analytical- quality assurance: result reporting critical
values
notification guidelines
21. ẁhat should be included in the record filee of the ẁorker personnel?: HIPAA regulation
knoẁn by the employee
22. The blue filter modifies the yelloẁ effect on the light giving it a more ẁhite light effect:
to eliminate the yelloẁ color emitted by the tungsten light bulb
23. the oil immersion is used for?: it gathers light for the objective and increase resolution. type B (high viscosity)
is commonly used.
24. The X and Y in the microscope are used for:: the values obtained bared plotted on the x and y axis. This
moves the mechanical stage or base left to right and the y moves up and doẁn or front to back.
25. sharp container is an:: engineering control
26. NO sharps is in:: Biohazard bag
27. precision means:: closeness of repeat results (reproducibility). describes hoẁ close test results are to one another
ẁhen repeated analysis of the same material is performed.
28. Accuracy: closeness of the results to the true value. describes hoẁ close a given test result is to the true value
29. 1SD: 68.3%
30. 2SD: 95.5%
31. 3SD: 99.7%
32. Systemic error: influences values consistency in 1 direction 2SD REJECT
RUN
33. Random error: exist in all measurements and due to chance 1 3SD reject
run
, 34. active error: interference betẁeen laboratorian and Patient's sample
35. Latent error: related to organization or design of a laboratory
