History of
versions of MultiQC
Version
5.0
- A new way to verify the
reportable range, a highly sophisticated mathematical
tool, however so easy to understand and to use.
- New management of the events
that occur in each analytical method (see user manual
section 5).
- Improvement in the management
of logins (see user manual section 12)
- Small bug fixes
Version 5.1
- A tool for analytical method
comparison. Like many other ones it implements ordinary
linear regression, Deming regression, Passing-Bablok
regression and a modified Bland-Altman difference plot.
But for the first time, the limit between commutable and
non commutable methods is based on medically allowed
error instead of statistical significance.
Version 5.1.2
- Calibrations are frequent
causes of QC upset. It is most useful to be aware of the
time of calibrations and of reagent blanks to be able to
understand and explain numerous unexpected shifts of QC
curves. This version of MultiQC can automatically draw
calibration flags on the QC charts when connected to an
analyzer that outputs calibration signals.
Version 5.2.0
- There is no science without
repeatability. Verifying repeatability of analytical
methods is the first step of troubleshooting
out-of-control situations or bad EQA returns. This
version of MultiQC can automatically process and archive
repeatability data transmitted by analyzers. These data
are simply recognized thanks to a reserved identifier.
Version 5.2.2
- Small bugs fixes and
additional buttons to scroll dates
Version 5.3.1
- Additional control mode named
"Retained CV" to be used when switching to a
new batch of control materials : CVs (and correlations
between levels) from the older batch are retained for the
newer batch whilst means are kept floating to get charts
self-centering on the new targets.
- Reference pools can be made
of several unconnected intervals of dates
- Offsetting targets replaced
by "Manufacturer targets" displayed as dashed
lines on the plots.
- Improvement of "cloned
analytes": Events and EQA data are automatically
updated when a change occurs in the original analyte.
- Cosmetical changes and bug
fixes.
Version 5.3.2
- Nothing changed but
registration keys that can be immediately delivered by
payment services. The former key file to be stored to the
installation folder of MultiQC is replaced by a
[name+code] key to be typed in a registration dialog.
Version 5.4.0
- Monitoring the time of QC.
