Any queries about this report should be addressed to the QCMD Neutral Office. The QCMD programme is organised in collaboration with the European Society for Clinical Virology and the European Society for Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. Registered in Scotland Reg No: SC Registered Office: 39 Castle Street, Edinburgh EH2 3BH
3 1. Programme aims The primary aim of this External Quality Assessment Programme was to allow participants to test their nucleic acid testing technologies with respect to sensitivity, specificity (negative controls and specificity controls) and reproducibility (duplicate samples) for herpes simplex virus type 1 and herpes simplex virus type Programme details Table 1: Programme details HSVDNA08 Date of panel distribution 19/02/2008 Number of participants 25 Number of countries 1 Number of respondents 20 (80%) Number of datasets submitted 24 Number of qualitative datasets submitted 23 (96%) Number of qualitative and quantitative datasets submitted 1 (4%) Five participants did not return results. Of these, three withdrew officially citing 'assay under validation' (n=2) and 'technical issues' (n=1). 3. Panel composition This EQA panel for the detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) consisted of nine samples containing various concentrations of herpes simplex viruses, one sample containing Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) and two samples negative for both. All panel materials were subjected to independent testing by laboratories recognised as expert in the detection of these targets. The strains used in the panel were HSV-1 MacIntyre (ATCC VR-539) and HSV-2 MS (ATCC VR-540). Table 2: Panel composition Sample Sample Sample Stock Sample content matrix * dilution status HSV08-01 HSV Type 1 DMM/BSA 1.0x10-4 Strong Positive HSV08-02 HSV Type 2 DMM/BSA 1.0x Positive HSV08-03 HSV Type 1 DMM/BSA 1.0x10-2 Strong Positive HSV08-04 HSV Type 2 DMM/BSA 1.0x10-5 Strong Positive HSV08-05 HSV Neg Medium DMM/BSA Negative HSV08-06 VZV (Ellen) DMM/BSA Negative HSV08-07 HSV Type 1 DMM/BSA 1.0x10-3 Strong Positive HSV08-08 HSV Type 2 DMM/BSA 1.0x Positive HSV08-09 HSV Type 1 DMM/BSA 1.0x Positive HSV08-10 HSV Type 2 DMM/BSA 1.0x Positive HSV08-11 HSV Neg Medium DMM/BSA Negative HSV08-12 HSV Type 2 DMM/BSA 1.0x10-2 Strong Positive * Dulbecco s Modified Medium / Bovine serum albumin. A sample status was assigned to each panel sample and consisted of 'Strong positive', 'Positive', 'Weak positive' and 'Negative'. 2
4 4. Programme results 4a. Qualitative analysis of the EQA data The number (percentage) of correct qualitative results is presented in Table 3. Qualitative data was returned by participants as 'positive', 'negative' or 'not determined'. Not detemined results were counted as incorrect for all panel samples (positive or negative). QCMD organises datasets according to commercial and in-house technology groups, which are Conventional PCR, Real time PCR, NASBA, SDA, TMA and bdna. Where datasets were reported as other for a technology or kit method this was reviewed by the QCMD Neutral Office and assigned to an appropriate group where possible.
