RBRC Process<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

\n\t
The district TB officer (DTO) sends information to all senior TB lab supervisors (STLS) of the district on the number of slides to be collected every month from each TB diagnostic Centre<\/span><\/li>\n\t
The STLS then selects the required number of slides from the TB Laboratory Register and marks the RBRC selected slides in the laboratory register with a circle<\/span><\/li>\n\t
The laboratory technician (LT) fills out Annexure B (Figure 1) for the selected slides<\/span><\/li>\n\t
LT seals the filled Annexure B in an envelope and marks the slide box with the Serial No. of slides, name of the TB diagnostic centre and TB unit (TU), month and year<\/span><\/li>\n\t

The DTO with the help of the statistical assistant (SA) removes all the identifying attributes of the selected slides (including the test results). This process is called Blinding<\/strong><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\t
Blinded re-examination of selected slides is done by the STLS of another TB Unit (TU) within the respective district. The STLS (controllers) must have demonstrated proficiency with the Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining and reading method (as seen by panel testing done by Intermediate Reference Laboratory (IRL)).<\/span><\/li>\n\t
Smears may be evaluated for specimen quality (sputum versus saliva), appropriate size and thickness, and quality of staining (as per Annexure C, Figure 2).<\/span><\/li>\n\t

The DTO with the help of the statistical assistant compares the results provided by the STLS against the original results provided by the LT. This process is called Unblinding.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\t
The discrepant slides are sent for umpire (second controller) reading.<\/span><\/li>\n\t
All discrepant slides are re-stained and re-examined by the second controller, as there is likelihood of fading of carbol fuchsin.

Feedback after RBRC<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
\n\t
Regular and timely feedback to the TB diagnostic centre is essential to improve performance<\/span><\/li>\n\t
Feedback and remedial actions are provided at the end of each sampling period i.e., completion of rechecking of the annual sample<\/span><\/li>\n\t
Also, feedback is given on a monthly basis to the respective TB Diagnostic Centre using the form in Annexure D (Figure 3) during the monthly on-site evaluation visit by the STLS responsible for the respective TB Diagnostic Centre<\/span><\/li>\n\t
Feedback includes the return of slides with discordant results to be re-read by the original LT of the respective TB Diagnostic Centre<\/span><\/li>\n\t
