"I think it’s a great tool to estimate the uncertainty around your measurements based on the bias and impressions associated with it. It gives us an estimate of future bias estimate on EQA surveys and imprecision on the quantitative QC measure on the new lot.” Another comment from our 1,300-lab survey of measurement uncertainty.

"[W]hilst this may be a useful exercise, for a predetermined purpose, the questions have been asked in a leading manner, clearly designed to make a point. the lack of knowledge about a method does not negate its importance, scientific and clinical validity or relevance...."

“We deal with [measurement uncertainty] because it's an ISO 15189 requirement but its usefulness in practi[c]e is nonexistent. It's a hobby of fastidious nerds that got out of control if you ask me. Only RVC is a useful tool that has a practical application in clinical decision-making.” Just one of the hundreds of comments from laboratories all over the world in our MU survey.
