Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the biochemical methods performance by using Six Sigma methodology. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by using Roche Cobas C501 and C702 analysers for 20 routine biochemistry parameters between February and July 2022 at the Department of Laboratory, Hanoi Heart Hospital. Results: 14 of 21 parameters studied had sigma values showed acceptable performance above > 3σ for both normal and pathological levels of IQC. Conclusion: Six Sigma methodology can be used to monitor and evaluate the biochemical methods performance, to compare the analytical performance between analyzers, which is fundamental for assurance and quality improvement.
