When can a single rule QC procedure be used instead of a multirule procedure?
In the case where a single rule procedure provides 90% detection of the critical-sized errors in a single run, any problems that occur will generally be detected right away, in the first run in which they occur. The single rule procedure may be simpler to implement and therefore be preferable for such applications. With high precision automated chemistry and hematology analyzers, there may be many tests for which a single rule QC procedure is perfectly adequate.
