  • Publication number: 20240426850
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods detect an error in a laboratory analyzer. A method can include determining a time delta between consecutive measurements of an analyte made on a patient using a laboratory analyzer, determining whether the time delta is within a specified number of days window, a specified time of day window, and is within a same season, determining a measurement value delta between the first and second measurements of the consecutive measurements if the time delta is within the specified number of days, time of day windows, and the same season, calculating an average of deltas, the average of deltas including a measurement value delta between the consecutive measurements, determining whether the average of deltas is within a specified range of acceptable average of delta values, and issuing an alert if the average of deltas is not within the specified range of acceptable average of delta values.
