Repeatability: the measurement variation observed when the
same person repeatedly measures the same characteristic in the
same way on the same patient/object using the same instrument.
Reproducibility: : the measurement variation observed when a
different person measures the same characteristic in the same
Measurement way on the same patient/object using the same instrument
System
Analysis Accuracy: : the measurement variation observed when a
MSA measuring device is compared to a standard
Stability: the consistency of performance over time
Linearity: the precision of the measurements through the
expected operating range of the instrument
