Incurred Sample Re-analysis [Bioanalytics]
Dear HS,
I think the idea would be rather to report the repeated result the way Canada used to request it: the first value obtained should be used for PK calculations, and there should be a table in the report showing the initial and repeat value for random repeats. Now the question is, what do you do with such a table ?
I agree with you. We used to do this in a lab where I worked some years ago, but I can't remember seeing it done at any of the labs I have visited since.

❝ Even if we were able to establish some kind of acceptance criteria, IMHO it would lead to a lot of ‘not reportable’ results.

❝ Consequent concentrations are not independent! IMHO any re-analysis ignoring this fact is just some kind of bureaucracy, but definitely not science.
❝ I always suggest to include two adjacent values, or – if the suspect values is the first/last one in a profile – two succeeding/preceding ones.
