It provides a standardized procedure to ensure consistency among analysts. This was tested by carrying out two independent evaluations of the same task. Of the 60 errors identified in the above validation study, 70% were common to both analysts. Of the remainder, 11 differences were due to differences in knowledge of the equipment by the two analysts and 5 were due to different interpretations of the procedures. 

The prototypical form of error in the health care system that could be reduced by a systems approach is medication error. The kind of error identified in the literature—overdose of chemotherapy, injection of the wrong drug, etc.—sometimes leads to either injury or death, the kinds of harm that are the central concern of after-the-fact medical liability adjudication. Phar-macogenomics introduces not only another conception of harm—genetic risks—but also new ways of developing and prescribing drugs.

Step 3 establishes the very basis of quantitative analysis the acceptability of initial calibration, ICV, and CCV. Measurement errors identified in this step may invalidate sample data, and in this case, further evaluation may not be necessary. 

Each chemical equation below contains at least one error. Identify the error or errors and then write the correct chemical equation for the reaction. 

Some of the concepts used in defining confidence limits are extended to the estimation of uncertainty. The uncertainty of an analytical result is a range within which the true value of the analyte concentration is expected to lie, with a given degree of confidence, often 95%. This definition shows that an uncertainty estimate should include the contributions from all the identifiable sources in the measurement process, i.e. including systematic errors as well as the random errors that are described by confidence limits. In principle, uncertainty estimates can be obtained by a painstaking evaluation of each of the steps in an analysis and a summation, in accord with the principle of the additivity of variances (see above) of all the estimated error contributions any systematic errors identified... 

Design Reviews should be revisited as appropriate to consider errors diseovered during Qualification. All errors identified in a COTS product should be reported to the supplier and a response sought. If no satisfactory response is forthcoming, the seriousness of the failure should be assessed and the ensuing decision, with any mitigating further actions, recorded. 

The report generated from these activities lacked a document control number, was not approved by the Quality Unit. Additionally, this report conunits to correct errors identified in XXXXXX during this testing. The original commitment in this report is for corrective actions to be delivered by March 31, 1998. Subsequently this plan was updated to have corrections delivered by March 31,1999. The firm produced no report, which addresses the corrections made in response to this report. [FDA 483, 2000]...

Test failures were attributed to a number of causes as illustrated in Figure 17.3. Operator error while executing the test case accounted for 1% of test failures. These tests were repeated once the error was understood. Incorrect setup also accounted for 1% of test failures. These tests too were repeated with the correct setup once the error was understood. Clarity problems with the test method and acceptance criteria accounted for 40% of test failures. Only the remaining 58% of tests did what they should have done, which is detect system errors. That is, 42% of test failure processing was avoidable if a more robust test process was adopted. Of the errors identified, 37% were classed as significant, and 63% as not significant. Resolution of these errors impacted specification and design documents. 

Major amendments to documentation was required in order to address 18% of the errors identified the rest only required minor document change. Remember, not aU changes are limited to a single document. All document changes, however, need to go through change control, which in practical terms means rework and delays. 

It should be emphasized that the approach presented in this section is part of an overall assessment of measurement errors. The measurement model is used as a filter for lack of replicacy to obtain a quantitative value for the standard deviation of the measurement as a fvmction of frequency. The mean error identified in this way is equal to zero thus, the standard deviation of the measurement does not incorporate the bias errors. In contrast, the standard deviation of repeated impedance measurements t)q)ically includes a significant contribution from bias errors because perfectly replicate measurements can rarely be made for electrochemical systems. Since the line-shapes of the measurement model satisfy the Kramers-Kronig relations, the Kramers-Kronig relations then can be used as a statistical observer to assess the bias error in the measurement. 

In the case of laboratory error or sample error, as defined by the Barr decision, there should be a formal mechanism for investigating these results. This investigation procedure should be defined in an SOP. This procedure can also be used to investigate out-of-trend results that look suspicious but are not OOS. This procedure should have the ability to evaluate the data collection procedures and, in the case of an error, identify the cause or likely cause of the error. The results of the investigation can be documented and included as a formal record in the stability study. It should prevent the studies from being... 

Systematic error is under the control of the analyst. It is the analyst s responsibility to recognize and correct for these systematic errors that cause results to be biased, that is, offset in the average measured value from the true value. How are determinate errors identified and corrected Two methods are commonly used to identify the existence of systematic errors. One is to analyze the sample by a completely different analytical procedure that is known to involve no systematic errors. Such methods are often called standard methods they have been evaluated extensively by many laboratories and shown to be accurate and precise. If the results from the two analytical methods agree, it is reasonable to assume that both analytical procedures are free of determinate errors. The second method is to run several analyses of a reference material of known.

The Court determined that laboratory errors occur when analysts make mistakes. These types of errors must be reported to and reviewed by a supervisor according to a written procedure. The review should be documented and the cause of the error identified if possible.

Error identifier techniques use prompts or questions to aid the analyst in identifying potential errors. Examples of error identifier prompts include Could the operator fail to carry out the act in time or Could the operator carry out the task too early or Could the operator carry out the task inadequately (Kirwan, 1994). The prompts are linked to a set of error modes and reduction strategies. Although these techniques attempt to remove the reliability problems associated with taxonomy-based approaches, they add considerable time to the analysis because each prompt must be considered. One example of an error identifier HEl technique is the Human Error Identification in Systems Tool (HEIST) approach (Kirwan, 1994). 

The EEM taxonomy and domain expertise are then used to identify, based on the analyst s subjective judgment, any CTedible error modes for the task step in question. For each credible error identified, a description of the form that the error would take.

Some of the most important errors identified in the PHEA worksheets were inadequate isolation of process equipments, inadequate labelling of equipment, delay in starting the work after issue the work permit, improper gas testing, inadequate site preparation measures etc. 32% of predicted errors, were related to inadequate isolation of process equipments and hazardous energy source which are one of the main causes of accidents in process industries. 

Work procedures Studies have showed that 11 to 24% industrial accidents occurred due to lack and weaknesses related in procedures (Peterson 1996). Rasmussen s classified these errors as rule based errors (Kirwan 1997). In this study, some of human errors identified in the PHEA worksheets, were because of shortcomings in...
