1) Introduction
Process control is an essential element of the quality management system, and refers
to control of the activities employed in the handling of samples and examination processes in
order to ensure accurate and reliable testing. Sample management, discussed in Chapter 6,
and all quality control (QC) processes are a part of process control.
QC monitors activities related to the examination (analytic) phase of testing. The goal
of QC is to detect, evaluate, and correct errors due to test system failure, environmental
conditions or operator performance, before patient results are reported.
QC is the part of quality management focused on fulfilling quality requirements
Simply put, it is examining “control” materials of known substances along with patient
samples to monitor the accuracy and precision of the complete analytic process. QC is
required for accreditation purposes.
In 1981, the World Health Organization (WHO) used the term "internal quality
control" (IQC), which it definition as “a set of procedures for continuously assessing
laboratory work and the emergent results”. The terms QC and IQC are sometimes used
interchangeably; cultural setting and country may influence preferences for these terms.
In the past few years, "internal quality control' has become confusing in some settings
because of the different meanings that have been associated with the term. Some
manufacturers of test kits for qualitative tests have integrated "built-in" controls in the design
of their kits, which they sometimes refer to as internal controls. Other manufacturers include
their own control materials with the kits they sell and they refer to these as "internal
controls", meaning that the materials are meant specifically for that manufacturer’s kit.
Finally, some people refer to any quality control materials that are used in conjunction with
test runs as IQC, as in the 1981 WHO definition.
To avoid confusion, the term "quality control" will be used here to mean use of
control materials to monitor the accuracy and precision of all the processes associated with
the examination (analytic) phase of testing.

MACHINE
Lack of maintenance – Lack of maintenance or inadequate maintenance can lead to
dangerous situations, accidents and health problems. Maintenance is a high-risk activity with
some of the hazards resulting from the nature of the work. Maintenance workers are more
likely than other employees to be exposed to various hazards.
Insufficient coolant – It essentially means that your engine is running very cold and that the
ECM has not detected a predetermined coolant temperature value.
ACCURACY
Improper Installation (Assembly) – Installation or assembly means the reassembly at a job
site of equipment that is wired and assembled at the factory and then disassembled for
shipping purposes or of existing equipment that is relocated.
Wrong comment – A faulty piece of equipment has something wrong with it and is not
working properly.
EMPLOYEES
Inexperience – If you don't have the relevant experience required for a certain job then step
one is to accept it. You can't 'fake it' so, first, accept that you lack experience. But realize that
you can actually use a lack of work experience to your advantage.
Untrained – Someone who is untrained has not been taught the skills that they need for a
particular job, activity, or situation.
MEASUREMENT
Inspecter – A less factory inspector is someone who checks that factories comply with
regulations affecting them.
Item not in place – the measurement of the item is not accurate or fits in a certain size
measurement.
