including Sigma Score

• %Bias – Percent difference between your observed

test results and your lab’s target mean.
• Coefficient of Variation (CVI) – Compares your
lab’s CV to your target CV to evaluate precision with
respect to your chosen target.
• Standard Deviation Index (SDI) – Compares your
lab’s mean to your target mean to evaluate accuracy
with respect to your chosen target.
• Sigma – Indicates how much your data varies from
the total allowable error limit by calculating the
number of standard deviations in a given test system
that fit within your chosen quality goals.
• Z Score – Measures how many standard deviations
away an individual QC result is from the target mean.
