Teleconference: Ensuring That Hematology Analyzers Tell

•

1:00 • 2:00 PM Eastern (US) Time - "Ensuring That Hematology Analyzers Tell the Truth." Description: An automated hematology complete blood count (CBC) analyzer must provide physicians with reliable medical data for patient management. Truthful data depends on robust system design, which is initially validated by the manufacturer and then verified by the end-user laboratory. Because CBC analyses are performed on a heterogeneous suspension of blood cells, particular attention to various preexamination aspects is critical to success in generating accurate patient results. Although automated hematology analyzers share the same quality control (QC) principles as automated chemistry analyzers, they also have unique characteristics that require some specialized approaches to QC. Speaker: Albert Rabinovitch, MD, PhD.
