Verification of Unmodified FDA- Cleared Test • Verification specimen panel – Own patient specimens • Current test serves as reference method • Split and send to outside lab – Patient specimens from another lab (or vendor) – Old proficiency samples, QC or calibrators • Should be in appropriate matrix, and have analyte in clinically relevant concentrations – Spiked samples (own lab, or provided by vendor) • Appropriate matrix, and analyte in clinically relevant concentrations 10
Verification of Unmodified FDA- Cleared Test • Operators who would perform routine patient testing should perform verification study • Vendors often offer to perform/assist – OK only for fully automated test systems where inter-operator variability not an issue – Preferred assistance: free reagents/kits and data analysis (for complex systems that produce a lot of data, such as AST or serology platform), discrepant analysis 11
