CLSI EP14 Abstract

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document EP14—Evaluation of Commutability of Processed Samples was developed for manufacturers and providers of proficiency testing or external quality assessment programs, although it is useful to clinical laboratories as well. The document helps users 1) determine whether noncommutability is the source of unexpected results that are sometimes observed with processed samples when two quantitative measurement procedures are compared, 2) display the magnitude of the effects, and 3) ensure that laboratory performance is evaluated fairly if noncommutability is present. The suggested protocol was developed using unprocessed patient samples as the standard of comparison.
