associated with the result of a measurement, (e.g. a test) that defines the range of values that could reasonably be attributed to the measured quantity“ MU for Serum ALP is 300 ± 3 u/L
measurement procedure in the examination phase used to report quantity values on patient's samples. The laboratory shall define the performance requirements for the measurement uncertainty of each measurement procedure and regularly review estimates of measurement uncertainty”

MU derived from long term in-house IQC data from 2 instruments (n= >100 over 6 month period, MU=2SD) How do we know if this is acceptable? Analytical cut off value is 20% below clinical cut off value No published guidance exists for Target MU EQA scheme of limited utility due to number of participants No traceability
