Often we get questions about the problems that laboratories encounter when they wrestle with their local regulations.
Here we have a case where there are Turkish laboratory regulations that are irrational. In the words of the submitter:
"I have a question about the estimation of total CV. We have a requlation about total allowable error in Turkey....It is Turkish, but I strongly believe that you can follow it.
"The marked page can be seen below: There is an example for glucose. Two levels of controls are measured and the CV%’s calculated. The total CV are calculated from the CV’s of two different levels as seen in the equation. I can not accept it, because the levels are different even if the CV’s are close."

"We have a department supervisor that instructs the techs to delete (not omit) qc values outside of three s.d..Is there a specific CLIA rule against this? Where I come from, deleting qc values is wrong."
What do you think? The answer, after the jump...
