You should enter a relevant title then build out the sections.
Each section can have many questions. Since this is an example of laboratory internal quality control, we are going to focus on kit test QC with some information about the kit.
The sections are as follows:
Kit Info: this contains things like kit name, expiration date, and lot number
QC Results: this contains P/F information that is captured when doing the QC tests
Details and Notes: relevant information and notes related to the QC test. The technician that performed the test, and important variables not included in the scope of the form can be put in the text box.
Coming Soon: How to set alerts for failed tests. LabQCpro has functionality that allows supervisors to know when tests are out of specification.
