Central to the evaluation of many medical problems, the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is susceptible to both technical and interpretative errors.
Tissue contamination can occur with CT-scan guided aspiration techniques leading to interpretative errors for the unwary cytopathologist.
Coding or interpretative errors were the probable cause of the 10% false-negative and 3% false-positive rates of ICD-10 coding for influenza on the DAD.
A pitfall of this technique is the potential for false-positive uptake related to inflammation or infection, which can lead to interpretative errors.

However, procedural related contamination, the presentation of the cells in a more distorted and incomplete tissue structure than histological slide and interpretative errors by the cytopathologist, all can lead to false positive results.
For field applications, these objectives do not necessarily move in tandem because of measurement errors and also interpretative nature of the seismic data.
In order to improve the reliability of laboratories, we attempt to explain how interpretative reporting and automated notification of critical values can be used to reduce errors.
