Severity level of the test
Select the Severity level of the test. The severity level controls how failed tests affect assay results.*
The following options are available from the drop-down list:
- Reject: If the test fails, no potencies are reported. For reporting the Overall test result, the test is considered 'Rejected'.
- If the test fails, potencies are reported. For reporting the Overall test result, the test is considered 'Failed'.
- Information: If the test fails, potencies are reported. For reporting the Overall test result, the test is considered 'Passed' (info available).
The following table explains how the Severity levels of failed tests influence the Overall test result:
Overall test result | Failed tests of severity level 'Rejected' | Failed tests of severity level 'Warning' | Failed tests of severity level 'Information' |
Passed | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Passed (info available) | 0 | 0 | ≥1 |
Failed | 0 | ≥1 | any number |
Rejected | ≥1 | any number | any number |
* The term 'assay' here refers to calculations for individual sample pairs (Test sample compared to Standard) unless simultaneous regression (formerly called multiplex assay) is used. If a test is set up as an Assay suitability test, it also counts for calculations of the Overall test results of other sample pairs in the assay document.
