The DQM Check for Sample Units verifies that sample results are reported with appropriate unit types. For this check to work properly, RT_UNIT.UNIT_TYPE of each unit used in the lab results must be populated with the appropriate values.

 

Check

 

Check name is EarthSoft.DQM.VerifySampleUnits = Verify Sample Units.

 

Parameters

 

This check uses three Global Parameters:

1.reportable_result – DT_RESULT.REPORTABLE_RESULT values to include in DQM datasets

2.result_type_code – DT_RESULT.RESULT_TYPE_CODE to include in DQM datasets

3.test_type_batch – AT_TEST_BATCH_ASSIGN.TEST_BATCH_TYPE to include in DQM dataset

 

Three parameters (listed below) are available for this check. None of these parameters allow for input of analyte-specific or method-specific PARAM_VALUEs.

1.unit_type – Defaults to “cpw, cpv”.

2.result_type_code – the result type(s) of the results to be included in this check. The default value is “TRG”.

3.sample_type_code – the sample type(s) of the samples to be included in this check. The default value is “N”.

 

 

Rules

 

There are two rules:

1.INVALID SAMPLE UNIT TYPE = Qualify results if RT_UNIT.UNIT_TYPE of a lab result unit is not among the ones defined in the unit_type parameter.

2.MISSING SAMPLE UNIT TYPE = Qualify results if RT_UNIT.UNIT_TYPE of a lab result unit is missing.

 

Errors

 

In the Errors tab of the DQM Event Review Form, this error may be listed:

 

•"One of the required rules for this check is not present in the RT_DQM_RULE table."
       If you receive this error, the QAPP can be updated following the How to Update Existing QAPPs documentation page
