CORRELATION
QA Users can establish correlation parameters for each IRMA TruPoint
product type to adjust IRMA TruPoint patient test results to values that would
be expected if samples were run on another analyzer (i.e., designated
reference analyzer). These correlation factors are based on split-sample blood
results from a statistically valid number of samples. The IRMA TruPoint
analyzer can be run without using the Correlation feature, even if correlation
values have been entered into the analyzer.
There are 2 correlation options:
• Off: Correlation parameters will not be used by the analyzer to adjust
IRMA TruPoint patient test results.
• On: Correlation parameters will be used by the analyzer to adjust IRMA
TruPoint patient test results.
