ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To continuously improve the routine indoor quality and precision of TEG by applying Westgard multi-rule control method combined with Levey-Jennings quality control chart. 【Methods】 The parameters R, K, Angel and MA of TEG were monitored and analyzed in the laboratory for 12 consecutive months using the same batch of quality control products via Westgard multi-rule control method combined with Levey-Jennings quality control chart, and the mean(), standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV%) were calculated to observe the control effect. 【Results】 We applied this quality control method to timely correct, analyze and improve the system errors in TEG indoor quality control.The CV% value of R, K, Angle and MA were 20.33%, 13%, 3.6% and 9.65%, respectively, during January to June 2019, but decreased to 9%, 3%, 1.28% and 5.35%, respectively, during July to December 2019. 【Conclusion】 The application of Westgard multi-rule control method and Levey-Jennings quality control chart in TEG indoor quality control test can improve the precision of TEG clinical test results.
