Recognize a Detected qualitative molecular result only when required positive, negative/NTC, and internal controls are valid, and support release of a Detected report
Open case →Select a Learning Case
Recognize a Not detected qualitative result when controls are valid, and state that a negative molecular result does not absolutely exclude infection
Open case →Recognize that a failed internal amplification control invalidates the patient result and prohibits reporting Detected or Not detected from that run
Open case →Recognize that amplification in the negative control or no-template control indicates contamination risk and invalidates the run
Open case →Decide that an unsuitable specimen type must be rejected or recollected and must not be tested as if it were a valid matrix
