Each chart can display up to 1200 results, which are indicated by a single data point on the QC chart. When the 1201st result is added, the oldest data point is deleted. Each chart also identifies the Assay parameter name, Control name, Control lot number, and Control status. Each assay’s QC target value and standard deviation limits are used to evaluate each QC result. The QC Chart screen displays the calculated Mean target value for each assay as well as upper and lower limits 2 standard deviations from the Mean. 5Viewing QC Chart Data Viewing options include: Cumulative data for all results Data for single result Select Next to continue.  Select each number to review the corresponding text.CalloutsChart data areaCursorCursor data areaOn each QC chart, you can view cumulative chart data for all QC results, or you can view details for a single QC result.
