Our solution was to work on the basis that it was a useless test of minimal clinical utility so when someone wants it we send it elsewhere. That way, it is not our problem to work out the uncertainty (which is massive) because the result comes from an accredited lab.

Dear All,
We are preparing for an upcoming UKAS inspection and I would be interested to know how other laboratories have made an assessment of measurement uncertainty for CSF xanthochromia analysis?
Also, does anyone use CSF Xanthochromia IQC?
Any information is much appreciated!
Best wishes,
Francesca.
