User Friendly Reports• RIQAS reports are presented in a convenient one page per
parameter format with the following features:– Compare results to all methods, method group and instrument group – Compare to RIQAS default limits or user defined limits e.g. CLIA or
Biological variation – Levey-Jennings charts displaying results for last 20 samples– Unique target score chart allowing at a glance assessment – % deviation by concentration chart for rapid assessment of concentration
related bias– Histogram charts comparing performance to peers, all methods, method
group and instrument group can be viewed on one chart– Multi-method stat section allows you to assess the performance of other
methods – Summary page conveniently highlighting any poor performing tests at a
glance

End-of Cycle Reports
• End-of-cycle reports– Provided at the end of each cycle and contain a
summary of all statistics – Compare performance to the previous cycle– Compare to laboratories worldwide or in your
country only – Text and graphical representation– Certificate of performance listing all parameters for
which your lab achieved acceptable performance provided
End-of-Cycle Reports
Multi-Instrument Reports
• Laboratories can register up 5 instruments for each parameter at no extra cost – Individual reports for each instrument are
supplied in addition to a complimentary unique multi-instrument report
– Allows comparative performance assessment of each instrument
Interlaboratory Reports
• Ideal for laboratory groups and chains
• Allows comparative performance assessment of multiple connected laboratories
• Available at no extra cost to participating laboratories
Highest Quality Samples
• All RIQAS samples are designed to mirror the performance of patient samples – 100% human samples for immunoassay methods– Free from interfering preservatives/stabilisers– Covers a range of concentrations
Frequent Reporting
• RIQAS offers monthly or bi-weekly reporting – Identify system errors sooner – Cover a range of clinically significant
concentrations sooner – Allows laboratories to take corrective and
preventative actions sooner with minimum disruption to laboratory output
– Can be used to complement national EQA schemes
