Detailed Reports
The Randox Acusera 24•ß7 software automatically calculates
statistical data, including the mean and standard deviation. Data is
presented in easy to read charts, allowing any sudden or gradual 14
changes in performance to be identified immediately. Data can be
displayed and viewed in 5 different ways, allowing performance to be
assessed at a glance.
It enables the comparison of results with user defined fixed mean and
standard deviation values. The laboratory can set fixed values based
on peer group statistics or other values such as the target and range
quoted for the particular lot in use. Data can be viewed for up to
three lots of control sera.

• Statistical breakdown by all methods, your method and your instrument, including running means for the last 10 samples.
• Compare your instrument group, method group and all methods using the histogram.
• Identify trends, biases and precision problems using the Levey-Jennings chart.
• The Target Score Chart grades your performance in a moving window over the last 20 samples, including the previous cycle .
• At-a-glance summary page for all analytes in the programme.
Standard Report
The unique target scoring system was developed to provide a simple interpretation of your laboratory’s performance. The system will present
the performance of your results for each RIQAS sample and also show how your laboratory’s performance varies with time.
Laboratories can register up to five instruments for each parameter at no extra cost. Individual reports for each instrument plus a unique multi-
instrument report are provided. The multi-instrument report allows the comparative performance of each instrument.
