Educational Preanalytical Cases Support End-to-end EQA in Bacteriology Laboratories
Aurevia’s external quality assessment (EQA) service has since 2017
included educational pre- and post-analytical cases in addition to the
traditional sample distributions. This service named integrated EQA
(EQA3), supports the clinical laboratories and point-of-care testing
(POCT) sites in meeting the requirements of ISO 15189 standard stating
that all steps of the laboratory process should be monitored.
According to the results of a survey conducted in 2023, the
participants of Aurevia’s schemes for General bacteriology and Urine
culture find the EQA3 service suitable for their needs.
