Ensure lab accuracy, reliability, and regulatory compliance with built-in quality control protocols and documentation tools.
The Quality Control & Compliance module enables diagnostic laboratories to maintain high standards of accuracy and consistency in testing, while also ensuring full readiness for audits and accreditation (e.g., ISO 15189, CAP, NABL). This module integrates quality tracking across all stages — from sample handling and reagent validation to internal and external quality assurance, with comprehensive reporting and traceability.
Internal Quality Control (IQC) Tracking
With DOLab IQC Tracking, labs can maintain uncompromised accuracy by monitoring routine QC runs across analyzers and test parameters. The system automates scheduling, records daily or batch-wise QC activities, and visualizes performance through Levey-Jennings charts. Out-of-range results are flagged instantly, enabling corrective action before patient results are affected.
- Schedule and document daily, weekly, or batch-wise QC activities
- Track control results against expected ranges using Levey-Jennings charts
- Alert on out-of-range values with automatic QC failure flagging
External Quality Assurance (EQA/Proficiency Testing)
DOLab EQA Management helps labs actively benchmark their performance against external quality programs. Proficiency test results are recorded, compared with expected values, and corrective actions are documented with ease. External reports can be attached, and performance trends tracked over time, ensuring your lab stays aligned with global standards.
- Record proficiency test results and compare with expected values
- Maintain documentation of corrective actions taken
- Attach external lab reports and manage performance scores over time
Corrective & Preventive Action (CAPA) Logging
With DOLab CAPA Logging, quality failures and audit findings are no longer overlooked. Each issue is categorized, assigned to responsible staff, and tracked through resolution deadlines. Escalation paths ensure timely closure, while recurring issues are highlighted, allowing labs to implement effective long-term preventive measures.
- Create CAPA entries with category, cause, resolution, and responsible staff
- Set escalation paths and resolution deadlines
- Track recurring issues and evaluate effectiveness of actions taken
Equipment Calibration & Maintenance Logs
DOLab Calibration Logs ensure every analyzer and instrument performs at peak accuracy. The system automates calibration schedules and preventive maintenance intervals, recording technician actions and outcomes. Linked equipment logs correlate with QC results, helping labs detect performance trends before they escalate into errors.
- Define calibration schedules and preventive maintenance intervals
- Record maintenance activities with technician and status
- Link equipment logs with QC performance and error trends
Reagent & Lot Validation
With DOLab Reagent Validation, labs can safeguard patient testing accuracy by validating each new lot before use. Control samples and validation comparisons are documented seamlessly, with automated approval and lock features preventing unvalidated lots from slipping into workflows. This ensures error-free and compliant reagent usage at all times.
- Assign control samples to validate new reagent or consumable batches
- Document comparison reports, graphs, and approval logs
- Prevent use of unvalidated lots via usage lock feature
SOP & Document Management
DOLab SOP Management digitizes all your compliance-critical documentation for easy access and control. SOPs, policies, manuals, and training files are version-controlled, with auto-reminders for expiry and revisions. Role-based access ensures the right people access the right documents, strengthening compliance and audit readiness.
- Upload SOPs, policies, manuals, and training records
- Assign version numbers and revision history
- Set role-based access and auto-expiry/reminder alerts
Audit Trails & Access Logs
With DOLab Audit Trails, labs gain complete transparency over user activities. Every login, edit, deletion, and approval is tracked with timestamps, ensuring accountability. Suspicious or unauthorized actions are highlighted instantly, and audit-ready summaries can be generated department-wise or time-based for regulators.
- Track login activity, data edits, deletions, and approvals
- Highlight unauthorized or suspicious modifications
- Generate audit-ready summaries by department or time frame
Non-Conformance Incident Reporting
DOLab NC Reporting empowers labs to record, track, and resolve deviations in real time. From sample mix-ups to test errors, incidents can be logged instantly and assigned unique NC numbers. Resolution teams are auto-notified, investigations tracked, and incident trends analyzed to prevent recurrence.
- Enable staff to log incidents in real-time (e.g., sample mix-ups, test failures)
- Auto-generate NC numbers, assign resolution teams, and track investigation status
- Measure incident frequency and categorize by severity
Compliance Dashboard & Alerts
DOLab Compliance Dashboard provides real-time visibility into all quality metrics, from calibration status to open CAPAs and QC failures. Smart alerts notify teams of overdue activities, expired documents, or failed controls. With advanced filters, management can drill down by department, equipment, or personnel for precise oversight.
- View dashboards for calibration status, QC failures, open CAPAs, and audit readiness
- Trigger alerts for overdue calibrations, non-compliant documents, or failed controls
- Filter reports by department, equipment, or personnel
Accreditation Readiness & Reports
Stay audit-ready with DOLab Accreditation Tools, designed for ISO, CAP, NABL, and CLIA compliance. The system maintains digital logs, QC charts, and calibration records mapped to checklist requirements. With one click, labs can generate formatted compliance reports, ensuring smooth external inspections and accreditations.
