BSAVA Lab Method Performance Verification Help Tool
Veterinary clinicians regularly use laboratory results to support decisions about their patients. Consequently, it is important to know whether the laboratory equipment they use to support diagnostic decision making is fit for that purpose. Many practices will perform some sort of quality control checks on their in-house analysers, however sometimes the ‘target range’ provided is too wide to detect clinically relevant analytical errors. Therefore, the BSAVA has developed guidelines and tools that will enable practices to optimise the quality control checks that they are already performing on their analysers. The BSAVA Lab Method Performance Verification Help Tool is accompanied by instructions for use and video guides.
