Overview

After accuracy assessment takes place, various pathways exist to correct an issue in which QC assessment has not passed.

• Overwriting a Result in a Workbook Session
• Requesting a Repeat Analysis in a Workbook Session
• Ignoring a Composite QC Failure in a Workbook Session
• Forcing the Reassessment of Results in a Workbook Session
• Viewing QC History for a Blank, Standard or Spike in a Workbook Session
• Releasing Results in a Workbook Session
• Validating Results in a Workbook Session

• Configuring Analysis to set the ALLOW_IGNORE_QC_FAILURES application preference

Process

Ignoring Failures on a Composite QC Status

A sample scheme analyte's Standard Status rolls into its Composite QC Status.

When a sample scheme analyte's Standard Status is Upper Failure, Lower Failure, Trend Failure (* possible to be set via Script) or Failure(* possible to be set via Script), then the sample scheme analyte's Composite QC Status is set to Failure.

If a sample scheme analyte's Composite QC Status is Failure, the sample scheme analyte cannot be validated. In this situation, the execution of an Ignore QC process means that the result can proceed to validation. During this Ignore QC process:

• The operator needs to provide a reason for the audited ignore action.
• The sample scheme analyte's Standard Status remains unchanged.
• The sample scheme analyte's Composite QC Status changes from Failure to Ignore Failure.
• Where the scheme version analyte's Saved to QC History is selected, such that, a QC history record was written for the result's accuracy assessment, then the QC history's QC Status is changed as follows:
  • Upper Failure --> Ignore Upper Failure
  • Lower Failure --> Ignore Lower Failure
  • Trend Failure --> Ignore Trend Failure
  • Failure --> Ignore Failure
