Objective To explore the assessment of precision, accuracy, and quality control(QC) procedures needed to satisfy the external quality assessment criteria with "operational process specifications" (OPSpecs) derived from an analytical quality-planning model. Methods The routine operating specifications were presented in the form of an OPSpecs chart, which described the operational limits for imprecision and inaccuracy when a desired level of quality assurance was provided by a specific QC procedure. Results OPSpecs charts could be used to compare the operational limits for different QC procedures and to select a QC procedure that was appropriate for the precision and accuracy of a specific measurement procedure. The inaccuracy and imprecision observed for a measurement procedure was plotted on the OPSpecs chart to define the current operating point, which was then compared with the operational limits of candidate QC procedures. Conclusion The general design approach is applicable in all instrument systems.

Objective To describe the reference intervals and their sources of tumor markers in clinical laboratories all over China.And make a comparison of difference between different testing systems.Methods The questionnaires about reference intervals of tumor markers testing were distributed to participants.The information was collected by external quality assessment software system based on website, which including upper and lower limits, sources, validation information and testing systems.The analytes were AFP, CEA, total-PSA, CA125, CA153, CA199, ferritin and free-PSA. The participants were classified according to the testing systems they used.The mean, median, maximum and minimum of each group were calculated using Microsoft Excel 2007.The difference of reference intervals between different testing systems were compared by Kruskal-Wallis test.Results The main source of reference intervals was instructions of testing system manufactures ( 83.1% for mean of 8 ratios ) .The next in sequence were instructions of reagent manufactures(8.4% for mean), National Guide to Clinical Laboratory Procedures (4.6%for mean), determined by their own laboratory(2.0% for mean) and the rest (1.9% for mean). There were 48.0% ( 1 906/3 967 ) of analytes whose reference intervals had been validated.Difference of reference intervals which was with P value of Kruskal-Wallis test with <0.05 was found between different testing system groups except the upper limit of free prostate specific antigen ( PSA ) .Conclusions Most clinical laboratories establish the reference intervals of tumor markers on the basis of instructions of testing system manufactures.The reference intervals among different testing systems have statistically significance.

Objective To investigate and analyze the current situation of reference intervals and decision limits of reticulocyte count in China.Methods The information related to upper/lower limits,decision limits,data resources,method principles, instruments and reagents of reticulocyte count in 2014 was collected via the external quality assessment software system based on website.The participants were divided according to their methods and instruments.The SPSS 1 9.0 was used for conducting the data analysis and statistics of results for each group.Results There were 276 laboratories submitting the val-id results.The major resources for reference intervals came from national guide to clinical laboratory procedures (53.99%), instructions of instrument manufacturers (16.30%),textbook (9.78%),instructions of reagents manufacturers (9.06%) and others.The major resources for decision limits were national guide to clinical laboratory procedures (56.06%),instruc-tions of instrument manufacturers (16.67%),textbook (7.58),instructions of reagents manufacturers (7.58%)and others. The medians and averages of upper/lower limits and decision limits among subgroups were close,whereas the P2.5 and P97.5 were significant discrepancies.Only 45.65% and 48.48% of participant laboratories had verified reference intervals and deci-sion limits before clinic use.The lower limits and decision limits among subgroups had nostatistical difference (P>0.05), where as the upper limits of different instrument groups had significant differences (P<0.001).Conclusion The current situation of reference intervals and decision limits of reticulocyte count is unsatisfactory.It is certain to establish a uniformed reference interval and decision limits for reticulocyte count,which provides a reference for the standardization of reticulocyte count testing.

Objective Discussthe reference intervals and their sources of lymphocyte subsets by flow cytometry tests by all Chinese clinical laboratories at 2014 with a comparison of difference between different test systems.Methods Questionnaires about reference intervals were distributed to 212 clinical laboratories participating in October 2014 national external quality assessment scheme of lymphocyte subsets by flow cytometry tests of National Center for Clinical Laboratory.Relevant information about reference intervals of 5 relative counting items CD3 + (%),CD3 + CD4 + (%),CD3 + CD8 + (%),CD3-CD16 + CD56 + (%) and CD3-CD19 + (%) was collected by a internet-based external quality assessment software systems.Microsoft Excel 2010 and SPSS 19.0 were used to sort out raw data,eliminate unreasonable or incorrect data,and only analyze source distribution,arithmetic average,median,minimum value,maximum value and percentiles (P2.5 and P97.5) of upper and lower limits about healthy adults' reference intervals.Laboratories derived from the highest percentage of source distribution whose reagent and instrument were matching with each other were grouped according to the test systems used and the differences of reference intervals between different systems were compared with Mann-Whitney test.Results For five items collected,in the clinical laboratories who accepted statistical analysis,respectively 39.32% (81/ 206),37.44% (79/211),37.68% (78/207),37.11% (72/194),36.98% (71/192) of them had verified the reference intervals they used.The top three sources of reference intervals were instructions of reagent and instrument manufactures (49.70%-52.54%),calculations by laboratories themselves (18.64%-20.00%),and calculations by other laboratories (14.12%-15.43%).The arithmetic averages and medians of upper and lower limits about every item were relatively close.But the minimum and maximum values of upper and lower limits of certain items had moderate differences.As Mann-Whitney test later showed,all items with the P values of upper and lower limits between different test systems,except for the lower limit of CD3 + CD4 + (%) (P value is 0.052) and the upper limit of CD3-CD19 + (%) (P value is 0.117),were lower than 0.05 which meant an existing statistical difference.Conclusions The sources of lymphocyte subsets by flow cytometry tests in all Chinese clinical laboratories were different and the instructions of reagent and instrument had the highest percentage,but the reference intervals among differenttest systems had statistically significance.
