4 RESULTS INTRODUCTION On delivery, the laboratory receives a unique code called "USER" and a password. The USER code is written on the products box, as code. The user and the password are required for entering the software. The results will be placed ONLY via internet, using the information from the external quality control vials: MONTH OF PARTICIPATION: written with letters on the VIAL. Ex: JANUARY, JUNE, JULY etc. and LOT: written on the vial "Lot." The Results will be introduced not later than the end of the month of participation written on the external quality control vial. Warning: The MONTH OF PARTICIPATION and the LOT chosen in the software, should comply with the MONTH OF PARTICIPATION and the LOT written on the vial. The wrong choice of one of the two (month of participation or lot) may lead to wrong results. Keep the packages (box, vials and bags) of the external quality controls until you receive the report results, or write down, the months of participation and lot numbers for each external quality control. Write down your unique code "USER NAME" and your PASSWORD, they are valid forever and you'll certainly need them every time you want to have access in to the software. Example of QS product, package: The label on the bag (where applicable) 1. MONTH OF PARTICIPATION: DECEMBER LOT: Both 1 and 2 are written on the vial. Fig: 1 Example: External quality control vial of coagulation Fig: 2 Enter on Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome programs. We don t recommend the Internet Explorer program. Press the GREEN BUTTON on the up and left side of the page. Fig: 3 Fig.4 4/30

5 Pressing the green button, you reach this screen. Starting with 2016, the software was changed. Bio Group Medical System, is under ISO:17043 accreditation. To enter in the new software (for 2016 and after), click where you see red arrow. picture, Fig: 5 As shown in the To download old reported results, until the end of 2015, enter the user and the password and press "Enter". Fig: 5 The USER is written (red color) on the products box, as code. Formed by three letters and three numbers. Ex: ZGA 000 or ZGN000 Find the PASSWORD in the external quality controls products box, that you received. Contact us, if you lose your USER or your PASSWORD. info@eqas.gr, Tel The USER and the PASSWORD are valid forever. Both are useful to: - introduce, the external quality controls results - download reports results, when available. Check This site doesn t use cookies. Click here to accept and continue. And press ENTER. Fig: 6 5/30

7 To introduce the external control results, go to the toolbar and choose DataEntry The list of programs that you have chosen to participate, will open. Fig: 8 Select the program that you want to introduce the results of the external quality control. In the present photo we chose "BACTERIOLOGY". Click on New data entry red arrows in Fig: 9 Fig: 9 7/30

8 This screen is shown. To enter the results two ways, are available. Choose the simplest way for you. On the right part of the screen, where the red arrow appears, pressing the arrow under it, you can choose your LOT. The lot number, it s written on your control vial: Lot: Fig: 10 On the left part of the screen, you can choose the MONTH OF PARTICIPATION. by pressing the + sign. The MONTH OF PARTICIPATION, also, written on the vial, in letters: Ex: JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER. ATTENTION: the expiration date of the product, has nothing to do with the month of participation. Shows that the product is valid. The month of participation is the month written on the vial, NOT the month that the laboratory performs the controls. For example: Let s say that your month of participation is SEPTEMBER. You can perform your controls in August. You will enter the results choosing SEPTEMBER in the software. Because, your control vial is for SEPTEMBER. The results will be compared with the participants of September. Be sure that the LOT and the MONTH OF PARTICIPATION, that you choose in the software, are the same with those written on your vial. 8/30
