MosaiQ 125 - User Manual - November 2020 - Reference n°: MMSURM.0010.02
This section provides information on MosaiQ125 quality controls (QC).
QC are used to ensure that MosaiQ125 performance is acceptable.
NOTICE
The current MosaiQ Software version does not allow to run QC
using the “Quality Control” functionality that is displayed on the
Navigation Bar.
To run QC, please follow the instructions provided below.
9.1 QUALITY CONTROL METHOD
In this section we describe how to run QC using the MosaiQ 125.
The laboratories must validate their own quality control method and quality control
material for the assays performed by MosaiQ 125.
NOTICE
Perform QC testing of the
MosaiQ 125
at LEAST once a day or
as per laboratory and regional specific requirements mandate.
9.2 QUALITY CONTROLS PREPARATION
Before loading any QC material into the MosaiQ 125:
Follow the instructions for use of the QC material.
Let the QC material reach the room temperature (if required).
Transfer the QC material into a standard 5 ml test tube that is compatible with
the MosaiQ 125 rack.
NOTICE
We recommend the use of a volume of 1,5 mL QC material,
using a standard 5 ml test tube. The minimum volume of
QC material required for one QC run is 0,5 mL.
Cap the tube securely for cold storage or transfer the
uncapped tube for imminent use on the MosaiQ 125.
Create a barcode label that is readable by the MosaiQ 125 (as described in chapter 8.9
) for
each appropriate QC material and apply it on the prepared tube. This will allow
the MosaiQ 125 to process the QC material as a normal sample (as described in
chapter 8.3).

To verify the compatibility of tubes with the MosaiQ 125 rack,
please contact your local technical representative.
