BACKGROUND
We developed an efficient online automated quality control (AUTO QC) system and tested its feasibility on automatic laboratory assembly lines.
METHODS
AUTO QC is based on developed quality control software (Smart QC) and designed adaptable consumables before. We applied the system to two assembly lines in our laboratory. Using third-party quality control samples, we evaluated the impact of the online AUTO QC system on out-of-control rate, biosecurity risk, turnaround time (TAT) and cost.
RESULTS
AUTO QC significantly decreased the occurrence rate of the Westgard quality control rules 1/2/R and 1, representing out-of-control and warning, respectively. The out-of-control rates were reduced by 58%, and the potential biosecurity risk of the samples decreased by 90%. The AUTO QC implementation also reduced the median TAT (by 7 min), the number of full-time employees and the cost of the quality control samples (by 45%).
CONCLUSIONS
The total laboratory AUTO QC system can improve the quality and stability of QC testing and reduce cost.
