Abstract:
The verification of analytical methods is a requirement outlined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This process involves evaluating the performance of an analytical method according to a well-defined protocol and subsequently comparing it with pre-established analytical objectives. In our study, we conducted an evaluation of the analytical performance of the unsaturated iron binding capacity assay using the Abbott kit on the Alinity CI analyzer in the biochemistry laboratory of Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda. The methodology employed adheres to the recommendations of the French accreditation committee (COFRAC) accreditation technical guide SH GTA 04, focusing on the assessment of reproducibility and repeatability. Overall, the results obtained from the study are considered satisfactory and align with the acceptability criteria recommended by the supplier. It's important to note that the accuracy and reliability of examination results are influenced not only by laboratory personnel, equipment, and environmental conditions, but also by the methods utilized and their eventual validation or verification.
