  • Internal Quality Control Software from Technopath Manufacturing Ltd. IAMQC Daily is a comprehensive Internal Quality Control software that applies Westgard and/or any user-defined QC rules to individual QC results. The software automatically builds interactive Levey-Jennings charts and tables and provides summary and detailed customised reports to the end user. IAMQC Daily integrates with Microsoft Excel to produce customised electronic reports. The system also allows the import of pre-defined templates, resulting in instant system setups. Users can create audit trails, action logs and summary reports at the click of a button. IAMQC Daily comprises a centralised program that facilitates the analysis of multiple QC materials, across numerous departments in a laboratory setting. The system can also be integrated with IAMQC Peer to satisfy both Internal and External QC requirements. IAMQC Daily offers a centralised review of all QC data from all laboratories/instruments. Central administrator access facilitates managers to review QC performance at multiple facilities – no need to visit each laboratory site. Closer monitoring of QC from remote locations without additional costs provides a flexible option for managing the inter and intra-lab performance. The software works on an ‘open’ platform that allows the end user to add all types of control material from a range of laboratories. Both IAMQC Daily and Expert can run using an internet OR intranet connection. Each PC license allows the user to manage an unlimited number of departments, control materials (not limited to Technopath materials) and instruments. An unlimited number of user logins can be added to the system at any stage. An administrator module can also manage user logins, customising the functionality that is available to each user. All data can also be filtered using the same logic to apply a user-friendly atmosphere and save time scrolling through data.
  • Select QC Rules and make meaningful QC decisions IAMQC Expert, from Technopath Manufacturing Ltd, is an interactive system that helps front line laboratory staff select QC rules, reduce unnecessary repeats and make meaningful QC decisions. IAMQC Expert allows the end-user to monitor method performance relative to clinical requirements and focus on the tests that require their attention. Times and technologies are changing rapidly. Instruments and methodologies are more accurate, precise and stable than they were a decade ago. Most laboratories have adopted these new technical advances, but few have modified their QC processes to match. Many laboratories are still using a 1-2s rule as recommended by Levey and Jennings in 1951. Technopath Manufacturing Ltd  have designed a QC system that will alert users to significant changes and not generate QC flags when the system is operating safely within acceptable limits. The system compares method performance to defined quality requirements (rather than to last month’s data) and recommends QC strategies that will warn users when QC data points exceed acceptable performance - with a minimal number of false flags. In the design of our QC system we “balance” the quality control system to meet the changing performance and stability of the analytical system.
  • Innovative, real-time, Peer Comparison Software from Technopath Manufacturing Ltd. The web based system facilitates laboratories testing the same lot number of control material to access valuable information from their colleagues through peer comparison. The reports that are generated in IAMQC Peer compare the accuracy and precision of analytical processes between laboratories and peer groups. This information can be extremely valuable, indicating the user’s performance relative to their peer group and also providing powerful troubleshooting tools when attempting to resolve potential problems. To participate in IAMQC Peer, each individual laboratory submits their individual results or summary statistics (mean, standard deviation, and number of data points) to the central database maintained by Technopath Manufacturing Ltd. Laboratories data may be submitted manually on-line or, alternatively, captured by one of our many interfacing options. The information provided by IAMQC Peer can be used on a monthly basis to evaluate how well lab’s methods are operating, relative to the overall peer group. Users can also look at this peer data in real-time, interactive, tables online, when they are investigating a potential problem with accuracy or precision for an individual method.
