A specimen transport audit was performed at a routine and reference laboratory. Over the survey period (1986-89) the percentage of specimens received and assessed as hazardous (inadequately packed, misidentified, or contaminated by leakage) fell significantly from 12.0 to 2.8%. Specimen transport audit identified technical and logistical faults associated with sample transmission. It is concluded that no type of hazard should exceed 0.5% of samples, with the total being less than 1% of specimens received. Specimen transport audit is an additional laboratory performance indicator.
在一家常规实验室和参考实验室进行了一次标本运输审计。在调查期间(1986 - 1989年),接收并判定为危险标本(包装不当、标识错误或有泄漏污染)的百分比从12.0%显著降至2.8%。标本运输审计发现了与样本传递相关的技术和后勤问题。得出的结论是,任何类型的危险标本不应超过样本总数的0.5%,总计不应超过所接收标本的1%。标本运输审计是一项额外的实验室绩效指标。
