What it is

QC runs charted with Westgard rules; a failed rule locks the analyte until a documented corrective action releases it. PCR runs: a molecular plate laid out with its samples and its positive, negative and no-template controls, the Cts read and judged against each assay’s own rules from its kit’s instructions (entered with the source; none ship); a failed control fails the whole run, and the database refuses a result for any sample on it — by hand, instrument or partner file — until the sample passes on a new run. A sample well whose internal control is outside the rule is held on its own. Blood culture QA records the ward that drew each blood culture and when the instrument flagged it positive, and computes the contamination rate (verified isolates marked contaminant) and mean time to positivity by ward — the two numbers a sepsis bundle audit asks for — against the lab’s own target if it sets one; it names wards, never who drew a sample.

How it works

Register the QC materialAnalyte, lot, target mean and expiry — the material, before the run.
Run it and record the valueEach value is plotted on the Levey-Jennings chart as you enter it.
A broken rule locks the analytePatient results on that analyte stop. The lockout is the effect; a warning nobody has to act on is not.
Resolve the lockoutWith the corrective action written down. That sentence is what an assessor reads a year later. Blood culture QA reads contamination and time to positivity by ward the same way.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not release patient results on a locked analyte.

Questions clinics ask

What does QCBench do?

Lab QC runs, Levey-Jennings and lockouts. QC runs charted with Westgard rules; a failed rule locks the analyte until a documented corrective action releases it. PCR runs: a molecular plate laid out with its samples and its positive, negative and no-template controls, the Cts read and judged against each assay’s own rules from its kit’s instructions (entered with the source; none ship); a failed control fails the whole run, and the database refuses a result for any sample on it — by hand, instrument or partner file — until the sample passes on a new run. A sample well whose internal control is outside the rule is held on its own. Blood culture QA records the ward that drew each blood culture and when the instrument flagged it positive, and computes the contamination rate (verified isolates marked contaminant) and mean time to positivity by ward — the two numbers a sepsis bundle audit asks for — against the lab’s own target if it sets one; it names wards, never who drew a sample.

What data does QCBench read and write?

QCBench reads qc results, collected lab orders, blood cultures and verified isolates and writes qc records, lockouts, corrective actions, PCR plates, Cts and run verdicts, drawing wards and positive flag times. Its data class is No PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does QCBench deliberately not do?

It does not release patient results on a locked analyte.

What happens to our data if we uninstall QCBench?

Operational history stays queryable for audit.

Is QCBench available today?

Yes — QCBench is live in clinics today. Set up your practice on MedAppz and install it from your dashboard.
