QC Monthly Recap Reports

Definitions     Procedures

 

 

Purpose

The Monthly Recap Report provides the means to produce a listing of QC values for any desired time frame from one month to a year or more. Recap records remain in the CyberLAB system files until deleted through the Delete QC Reports submodule.

Data used to generate Monthly Recap Reports is compiled from the records created at the time of final month end reporting of the QC Statistical Reports submodule.

Every time the Month End report is generated through the Statistical Reports submodule, a recap record is created for that test/known/month which can then be produced via this Monthly Recap Report function.

The information listed in the Monthly Recap Report is as follows:

  1. Test Code, Test Name, and Known

  2. Month of recap record

  3. Number of total individual results used in calculations

  4. Low result value

  5. Mean result value

  6. High result value

  7. Standard Deviation

  8. Coefficient of Variation

  9. Known Lot Number
