Control Limits and QC Analysis for BMS 302

The document outlines control limits and analysis for two controls in a laboratory setting, detailing calculations for 2s and 3s control limits for Control 1 and Control 2. It includes a Levey-Jennings quality control exercise that tracks daily values against these limits, identifying violations and acceptable results. Control 2 experienced multiple violations, while Control 1 remained within acceptable ranges throughout the observed period.

Control 1 has a mean of 200 mg/dL and standard deviation of 4.0
mg/dL.
Control 2 has a mean of 250 mg/dL and standard deviation of 5.0
mg/dL.

1-What are the 3s control limits for Control 1?

Upper limit= 200+3x4=212


Lower limit= 200-3x4=188

2-What are the 2s control limits for Control 2?

Upper limit= 250+2x5=260


Lower limit= 250-2x5=240

3-What are the 3s control limits for Control 2?

Upper limit= 250+3x5=265


Lower limit= 250-3x5=235

What is the range for scaling the chart for Control 2?

The upper control limit for Control 2 is 260 mg/dL, and the lower control limit
is 240 mg/d:

Range = Upper Control Limit - Lower Control Limit


Range = 260 mg/dL - 240 mg/dL
Range = 20 mg/dL

Consequently, 20 mg/dL would be the range used to scale the chart for Control
2.
4-What are the 4s control limits for Control 2?
Upper limit: 250+4x5=270
Lower limit: 250-4x5=230
5-What are the mean and control limit lines for Control 2?
The mean line represents the mean value of Control 2, which is 250 mg/dL.

The control limit lines can be determined based on the upper and lower control
limits. The upper control limit is 260 mg/dL, and the lower control limit is 240
mg/dL.

Therefore, for Control 2:


- Mean line: 250 mg/dL
- Upper control limit line: 260 mg/dL
- Lower control limit line: 240 mg/dL
Levey-Jennings QC Exercise :

Control 1 has a mean of 200 mg/dL and standard deviation of 4.0 mg/dL.
Control 2 has a mean of 250 mg/dL and standard deviation of 5.0 mg/dL.
Prepare appropriate control charts and interpret the results.

Control 2 had violations on days 3, 5, 8, and 22, whereas Control 1 has no violations based on
the control limitations. Control 2 infractions are flagged as reject (R). The remaining values are
designated as Accept (A) as they are inside the control ranges.
