| Anmerkungen | The Programme aims to assess the performance of organisations measuring Urine and Serum/ whole blood human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) for confirmation of pregnancy (classical high sensitivity test) and for professional healthcare providers using low sensitivity or multilevel rapid tests to exclude ongoing pregnancy after medical abortion treatment. Urine Pregnancy Programme Three samples of liquid human urine covering an appropriate physiological range are distributed bimonthly. Fresh filtered human urine from pregnant and non-pregnant volunteers is used, with additional female human urine spiked with Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin to increase the pathological range. The standard volume is 1mL aliquots, however this can be increased and dispensed into wide neck tubes to those participants using wick-based assay systems. Participants can submit both quantitative and qualitative results. Serum HCG Programme Three serum samples spiked with hCG are distributed bimonthly, participants can submit quantitative and qualitative results. Performance Assessment: The programme is designed to assess both laboratory and method performance, including, sensitivity, interferences, bias, within and between batch imprecision and antigen excess. Key Features: - Suitable for qualitative and quantitative assays. - Suitable for urine and serum/ whole blood hCG methods. - Suitable for manual or automated lateral flow methods. - Suitable for classical pregnancy testing or determination of outcome after ToP. - Increased volume dispensed into wide neck tubes available for those using lateral flow dip stick assays. - Challenging samples at or near lower limits of detection/ Ag excess to assess sensitivity and Hook effect. - Programme assess both laboratory and method performance, including, sensitivity, interferences, bias, within and between batch imprecision.
